Error forwarding the new session cannot find : Capabilities for Android emulator

Question

I am facing "error forwarding the new session" for Android Emulator. My setup is appium node v1.53 configured with selenium grid v2.53.1 and genymotion android emulator. I need to invoke native browser of S6 device. But selenium grid is not forwarding my session to Appium. I have used below Node.json

{
    "capabilities": [{
            "applicationName": "S6",
            "browserName": "android",
            "deviceName": "192.168.57.101:5555",
            "version": "6.0",
            "maxInstances": 3,
            "platformName": "ANDROID"
    }],
    "configuration": {
            "cleanUpCycle": 2000,
            "timeout": 30000,
            "proxy": "org.openqa.grid.selenium.proxy.DefaultRemoteProxy",
            "url": "http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub",
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 4723,
            "maxSession": 6,
            "register": true,
            "registerCycle": 5000,
            "hubPort": 4444,
            "hubHost": "127.0.0.1"
    }

}

And my desired capabilites are:

    //capabilities for Samsung Galaxy S6
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME,MobilePlatform.ANDROID);
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME,"192.168.57.101:5555");
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.VERSION, "6.0");
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "android");
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "6.0");
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.UDID, "192.168.57.101:5555");


    WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(server), capabilities);

Can someone please help? I have tried all combinations of above capability type, not sure what i am doing wrong.
