I am working with an android 4.4 KitKat api level 19 image.

The .apk file can be obtained by downloading it directly from the playstore, on the internet you can find several options to do this, for example:
https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
and these are the instructions to install it on the emulator using Windows:
Run the emulator.
Start console for command line. Run -> type cmd, move to the platform-tools directory inside the SDK directory.
Paste the APK file into the 'android-sdk\tools' or 'platform-tools' folder.
Write the following command to install the apk on the emulator:
adb install [path to .apk file]
