As I just learned, Android reserves the right to kill a background application's process at any moment in order to recycle RAM. The application is still running and can be resumed nevertheless, but all of my static variables are gone (see this article).
I'd like to simulate my app's behavior in this scenario. What's the easiest way to do this? There certainly must be an easier and more predictable way than writing some additional apps that allocate lots of memory.

Go to Tools->Android->AVD Manager , there's something like pencil to edit your AVD click on that, then in the pop-up window click Show Advanced Settings and there you can change the RAM size.
Android Studio's Emulator Minimum Requirement PC Windows 10 Processor: Dual-core AMD or Intel processor. RAM: 4 GB RAM. Hard Disk: 2 GB. Graphics Card: 1280 x 800 minimum screen resolution with onboard graphics.
On Android StudioOpen the AVD Manager. Click Edit Icon to edit the AVD. Click Show Advanced settings. Change the Internal Storage, Ram, SD Card size as necessary.
The easiest way is just to launch the emulator, go to settings -> applications . Then pick the unwanted applications and uninstall them. Alternatively you can do adb -e shell while the emulator is running, find the . apk files in the file system (I think they're under /system/apps) and remove them manually.
Found two similar questions Simulate killing of activity in emulator and Simulate low battery & low memory in Android.

short answer: change orientation if you are using an emulator. if using actual device, change settings by going to settings --> developer options --> don't keep activities.
see my answer to this and this for detailed explanation.
