I got PEM certificated generated from other machine,

So I am totally confused what I have to do now.

Please let me know what I need to do to run it in localhost

I think that you may have exported the certificate, but not the private key from the .cer file that apple supplies.

These instructions from markbates might help out:

Once you have the certificate from Apple for your application, export your key and the apple certificate as p12 files. Here is a quick walkthrough on how to do this:

1. Click the disclosure arrow next to your certificate in Keychain Access and select the certificate and the key.
2. Right click and choose Export 2 items….
3. Choose the p12 format from the drop down and name it cert.p12.

Now covert the p12 file to a pem file:

$ openssl pkcs12 -in cert.p12 -out apple_push_notification_production.pem -nodes -clcerts
