appium: Appium failed to create driver for native browser

Here is the code snippet

@Before public void setUp() throws Exception { DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities(); capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”, “emulator-5554”); capabilities.setCapability(“platformName”, “Android”); capabilities.setCapability(“platformVersion”, “4.4”); capabilities.setCapability(“browserName”, “Browser”); driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), capabilities); }

Appium was not able to complete setup and waited for the execution of

   driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),
            capabilities);

Here is the server stack trace:
