I've collected all the answers on this question and came up with function to detect if Android is running on a vm/emulator:

public boolean isvm(){


        StringBuilder deviceInfo = new StringBuilder();
        deviceInfo.append("Build.PRODUCT " +Build.PRODUCT +"\n");
        deviceInfo.append("Build.FINGERPRINT " +Build.FINGERPRINT+"\n");
        deviceInfo.append("Build.MANUFACTURER " +Build.MANUFACTURER+"\n");
        deviceInfo.append("Build.MODEL " +Build.MODEL+"\n");
        deviceInfo.append("Build.BRAND " +Build.BRAND+"\n");
        deviceInfo.append("Build.DEVICE " +Build.DEVICE+"\n");
        String info = deviceInfo.toString();


        Log.i("LOB", info);


        Boolean isvm = false;
        if(
                "google_sdk".equals(Build.PRODUCT) ||
                "sdk_google_phone_x86".equals(Build.PRODUCT) ||
                "sdk".equals(Build.PRODUCT) ||
                "sdk_x86".equals(Build.PRODUCT) ||
                "vbox86p".equals(Build.PRODUCT) ||
                Build.FINGERPRINT.contains("generic") ||
                Build.MANUFACTURER.contains("Genymotion") ||
                Build.MODEL.contains("Emulator") ||
                Build.MODEL.contains("Android SDK built for x86")
                ){
            isvm =  true;
        }


        if(Build.BRAND.contains("generic")&&Build.DEVICE.contains("generic")){
            isvm =  true;
        }

        return isvm;
    }
