Answer 1

It sounds as though your emulator does not have the Google API's installed, based on this error message:
Device does not have package com.google.android.gsf
You can read about the GCM client requirements in the Google GCM docs: http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/demo.html#requirements
The important part being this:
For the Android application:
Emulator (or device) running Android 2.2 with Google APIs.
The Google API project number of the account registered to use GCM.
So when you create your emulator make sure that the target has the Google API's installed. E.g.:
Google APIs (Google Inc.) - API Level 10
