Appium: Tests are not running on the correct android emulator if I have more than one device running

The problem

I am using Android Studio to run Appium tests. Through AVD manager I have two emulators one for Nexus and the other for Pixel. If I want to run tests on my Nexus it always run on Pixel. Not sure why.

Environment

Appium version: v1.6.5
Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable):
Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: Windows 7
Mobile platform/version under test: Android 7.1.1
Real device or emulator/simulator: Emulator
Android Studio Version: 2.3.3
Details

I am using Android Studio to run Appium tests. Through AVD manager I have two emulators one for Nexus and the other for Pixel. If I want to run tests on my Nexus it always run on Pixel. Not sure why. I am setting up the device using Desired capabilities and the device name is of no use to differentiate the device. Eventhough I have specified Nexus device name, it always runs on Pixel. I have first created Nexus emulator through Android AVD Manager and the Pixel later.

Code To Reproduce Issue

Device configuration:

DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Nexus_5X_API_25");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "Android");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "7.1.1");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.android.calculator2");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.android.calculator2.Calculator");
driver1 = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), desiredCapabilities);
driver1.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Device list on using command line

The "android" command is deprecated. For manual SDK, AVD, and project management, please use Android Studio. For command-line tools, use tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat and tools\bin\avdmanager.bat
