I am searching for a way to display Heap Memory/force garbage collection.
I have already tried to search through settings, however all I could gather was about setting JVM parameters in Android Studio config.
Does Android Studio have such functionality?

IntelliJ IDEA can show you the amount of used memory in the status bar. Use it to judge how much memory to allocate. Right-click the status bar and select Memory Indicator.
Step four: Verify heap space changeOpen a terminal window. Review the command output. The argument beginning with "-Xmx" will give you the value of the current Java heap space. In the example above, the value is 1024 MB, or 1 GB.
Common options Limits the maximum memory heap size that the JVM can allocate for running IntelliJ IDEA. The default value depends on the platform. If you are experiencing slowdowns, you may want to increase this value, for example, to set the value to 2048 megabytes, change this option to -Xmx2048m .
By default, Android Studio has a maximum heap size of 1280MB. If you are working on a large project, or your system has a lot of RAM, you can improve performance by increasing the maximum heap size for Android Studio processes, such as the core IDE, Gradle daemon, and Kotlin daemon.
Press shift two times.
Search for "memoryIndicator" in the search box.
Toggle on the memory indicator option.
(You might need to restart IntelliJ for changes to take effect.)
