To push a file onto the emulator or any other rooted device you'd just issue a adb push command.

adb push FILE PATH_ON_DEVICE

In Java to define the path to a file you can simply create a File object with the path set in its constructor.

File file = new File("/path/on/device");

You can use adb to push the file to whatever location you want. Just start the emulator (without any device connected) and type 

adb push myfile /mylocation/myfile

Here is the manual page for the commands: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html

Alternatively, you can browse the file system using ddms
