I'm not even sure you can do it! period!

A NFC tag is a passive device, meaning that it will only give info when powered by the reading device (using rf).
The NFC reader/writer present in smartphones are active devices, meaning that they give the NFC tags power.
To be able to "emulate" an NFC would require hardware specific solutions, that I don't believe are yet available in mass consuming electronics. (I may be wrong)

I have tested such "emulators" (several of them) with a few of my available phones, like Samsung S6 and Samsung X-Cover3.
Reading/writing is no issue, but no emulation is done.
