You could have a look at this appium maven plugin:

https://github.com/Ardesco/appium-maven-plugin

It will start Appium up before the tests run, and then shut it down afterwards. You can also use Maven profile's so it doesn't happen all the time.

<plugin>
<groupId>com.lazerycode.appium</groupId>
<artifactId>appium-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.2.0</version>
<configuration>
    <nodeDefaultLocation>${project.basedir}/src/test/node</nodeDefaultLocation>
    <appiumLocation>${project.basedir}/src/test/node_modules/appium</appiumLocation>
</configuration>
<executions>
    <execution>
        <id>start appium</id>
        <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
        <goals>
            <goal>start</goal>
        </goals>
    </execution>
    <execution>
        <id>stop appium</id>
        <phase>post-integration-test</phase>
        <goals>
            <goal>stop</goal>
        </goals>
    </execution>
</executions>

You can use the frontend-maven-plugin to download Appium if you don't have it installed locally (more info at the link above)

Not so many details in your question but shortly:

  1. Create Jenkins job.
  2. Point tests source code location to build and run
  3. Add build step to start Appium (command depends on your environment)
  4. Add build step to run emulator (emulator -avd your_emulator_name or use Genymotion)
  5. Add build step to invoke maven command (clean test)

Do not forget to make start Appium and run emulator as background processes otherwise it will block job execution. Format of commands depends on your environment (Linux or Win). You may need to insert time delay to let emulator initialize (and again format of command depends on your OS). Hopefully it makes sense for you.

Make a Jenkins Job which will check out the project on the target environment, build it and then run a script which will call the appium command which points to the built application and then run the selenium command to kick off the tests.
