Is it possible to run Espresso UI tests on -no-window emulator?

I'm trying to run my Espresso tests on CI (Jenkins in this case) server. I do not have access to the GUI over here so the approach I have decided on is using -no-window parameter on Android Emulator. Emulator starts fine however I receive Error: Could not access the Package Manager. Is the system running? error during installation process. So as I mentioned above, is there any way that I could run Espresso tests on non-gui machine? I know there is Jenkins plugin for Android Emulator but it seems to be outdated, last update is from 2015 I belive.. thanks!
