TL;DR

Conclusion
In this short tip, I showed you how easy it is to simulate an incoming call or SMS to an emulator in Android Studio.
Android Device Monitor allows you to set other stuff as well, like for example the current location, Network preferences (to test your app in not so ideal connectivity situations), etc.
Hope this helps 💪
