I will like to know some of the android emulators that work really well with Ubuntu 11.10 and above. I want to try 'whatsapp' on Ubuntu through an android emulator. Thanks in advance

Probably the easiest to use, and officially supported, is Eclipse.
The Eclipse Android Developer Tools (ADT) plugin allows for basic project creation and management, as well as step debugging and ability to easily export your app for deployment/publication.

Google now distributes an ADT Bundle, which includes Eclipse with the ADT plugin, SDK and platform tools, and latest Android platform and system image for the emulator.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
The Android SDK Tools alone can still be downloaded if you prefer not to have the entire bundle, or if you already have Eclipse installed and just want to add the ADT plugin and SDK/platform tools, or if you prefer to use another IDE.
In the repository there are emulators for lots of different game consoles.
- DGen
(Sega Genesis/MegaDrive).
- FCE Ultra
- FCEUX
- MAME
- Mupen64plus
- PCSX
- PCSX-Reloaded
- ZSNES
- VisualBoyAdvance
- DeSmuME
- gngb
- Yabause
There are also other emulators and compatibility layers for computers and systems, such as Wine , DOS, Amiga
, Atari, Commodore
