That's exactly what Android does automatically.

It ranks everything running by type - services and apps, foreground and background - and when ram is needed, it clears out what's not in use so the app you want to run has the ram it needs.

Everything about how this works and more is explained in detail at -

No need to add apps or manage it yourself, it works like desktop Linux in this regard.
