It is never a good practice to call the GC manually. Dalvik or ART simply knows better than us. If you are facing memory issues, try to find memory leaks in your app using MAT.

Also invoking System.gc() is not a guarantee of garbage collection actually being performed. It’s more of a hint than anything else.
