Pushing notifications to android emulator behind a proxy

Question

Hi Guys 
I hope this is the correct place to ask this question - if not please direct me.
I'm attempting to build an android app (in the emulator) that receives push notifications from Azure/gcm.
I'm also using eclipse ADT in a windows 8.1 for the android dev' work.
I have been attempting to apply the tutorial
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/notification-hubs-android-get-started/#connecting-app
The registration process works correctly and I receive a registration ID from the Google CloudMessagingService which i then use to register a NotificationHub (from which I  receive a registration ID )
Where I seem to be having problems is when i try and send an Android  (Random Broadcast) message from the Azure management Portal.
{"data":{"message":"Notification Hub test notification"}}
The message never arrives at my app (in the emulator) as 
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Bundle bundle) {
ctx = context;
String nhMessage = bundle.getString("message");
// sendNotification(nhMessage);
mainActivity.DialogNotify("Received Notification",nhMessage);
doesnt fire. (but does in the registration process)
(Azure says the message was delivered)
So I'm wondering if theres something i'm missing - perhaps surrounding the proxy server i'm behind? Or something else to do with the emulator?
regards
Bryce
