ionic android build - not enough memory to start jvm

When trying to create an android apk file using ionic and gradle, i get an error

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Unable to start the daemon process.
This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.
Please refer to the user guide chapter on the daemon at http://gradle.org/docs/2
.2.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html
Please read the following process output to find out more:

I am trying to do this on a Windows 7 Desktop. My Java memory settings is as below.

D:\test>java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version | findstr /i "HeapSize PermSize Threa
dStackSize"
     intx CompilerThreadStackSize                   = 0               {pd produc
t}
    uintx ErgoHeapSizeLimit                         = 0               {product}
    uintx HeapSizePerGCThread                       = 87241520        {product}
    uintx InitialHeapSize                          := 67108864        {product}
    uintx LargePageHeapSizeThreshold                = 134217728       {product}
    uintx MaxHeapSize                              := 1044381696      {product}
     intx ThreadStackSize                           = 0               {pd produc
t}
     intx VMThreadStackSize                         = 0               {pd produc
t}
java version "1.8.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_05-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.5-b02, mixed mode)

I tried setting -Xms and -Xmx at numerous places, but the system is just not able to start it. How do i solve this problem?

I changed the

Added JAVA_OPTS in My Computer > Properties > Environment Variables
Added JAVA_OPTS in dx.bat in android SDK
Added JAVA_OPTS in build.bat inside application folder
Changed JAVA_OPTS in gradle.properties

Please help

Barlrog30's solution did not work for me, but inspired me.

Here is what works for me:

Set an environment vairable GRADLE_OPTS to the value of -Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx512m

I am using:

Windows 7 64bit + Jdk 32bit + cordova 5.3.1
