Is there any tool or test that I can use to empty my processor cache, using Android?

I do not know of any microprocessor whose cache can be deliberately emptied at a user-code level.

Certainly nothing in Java has access to anything so low level.

I doubt it's even possible. So many processes are running in any Android device that they 

will always be driving the processor. Furthermore, any emptying of the cache must be 

extremely momentary. The next instruction would start filling it again.

Pretty much the only way to empty the processor cache is to turn off the device completely, 

e.g., remove the battery. Would that serve your purpose?
