How can I shake an Android Emulator device in Android Studio 3.0?

Question

I need to test a newly developed app on multiple Android device emulators through Android Studio.

This app has multiple environments wherein this is hosted, like, qa, UAT, Production. I can change the environment through a screen that comes only after shaking a real device.

Unfortunately, Android Studio 3 does not give a direct option to shake the device. How can I achieve this shake action in the emulator ?
