Solution 1:

For 2 apps on the same virtual (or real) device to work together, besides the regular Intent object, you might have a look at bound Services and AIDL : http://developer.android.com/guide/components/aidl.html

Solution 2:

You can use this step if you connect your emulator with socket:

1. run the first emulator as server
2. telnet localhot 5554 from terminal
3. redir add tcp:5000:6000
4. run the second emulator as client
5. input the ip from server and port

NB : tcp:5000:6000 is the port from server and client, 5000 is from client and 6000 as server port.

Solution 3:

If you want network connection between the two, you can do it, but each emulator is running behind its own virtual router. The 'Using The Emulator' documentation will help:
