Answer 1

There is no Power Button in Emulator like Devices have,So

To stop an emulator instance, just close the emulator's window.

And To Start/Restart it Start from AVD Manager of Eclipse and Your BroadcastReceiver with BOOT_COMPLETE action will get called for sure

You can start AVD another way also, From CMD go to Tools of AndroidSDK and give this commmand E:\android-sdk-windows\tools>emulator -avd AVDNAMEHERE

To Send Broadcast from CMD you can use this Command.

adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED -c android.intent.category.HOME -n package_name/class_name

Answer 2

You can use the Emulator Control View in Eclipse. This user interface allows you to send data to the emulator to emulate receiving an SMS message or phone call. Run the application in the emulator, and go to Window -> Show View -> Other -> Android -> Emulator Control. Enter incoming number and choose Voice option for call and SMS option for SMS.
