Use below mentioned Function and call it when you want to execute the .APK file on an Emulator

  1. You should have Appium server running before calling this

  2. this will launch the emulator for you and will install the .APK file on the same. 

     protected AppiumDriver getAppiumDriver() throws MalformedURLException {

    if(appDriver == null)
    {
        DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();

        // APK location on system
         File appDir = new File("/Users/therapybox/Desktop/Appium/Apps");


        /* ANDROID DEPENDENCIES START*/

        File newApp = new File (appDir ,"selendroid-test.apk" );
        cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "");
        cap.setCapability("deviceName", "Android Emulator");
        cap.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
        cap.setCapability("platformVersion","8.0");
        cap.setCapability("noReset", true);
        cap.setCapability("avd", "Nexus5XAPI26");
        cap.setCapability("automationName", "UiAutomator2");
        cap.setCapability("app", newApp.getAbsolutePath());
        appDriver = new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub"), cap);
    }

    return appDriver;
}

If you are using appium you can set app capabilities in your DesiredCapability.

 DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
 caps.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, "path to your apk");
