I had the same issue, and had to move down to API 21 emulator image with google apps. That one is more up to date, and works.

The duplicated emulator will be loaded with the latest version of the SDK.

This problem cause by the version of Google-Play-services on your device is too old, you should update your version of Google-Play-services on your device.

For the emulator, you need to update Google-Play-services on your emulator instead of update your SDK.

I had the same problem and right now I "updated" the version to 6774480 invalidating the caches and restarting, then i "downgraded" the dependecies compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6+' and it works, I know that is not a real solution but is a bad way to make it works so I can test my app
