So to add template you have to follow several simple steps:

1. Open "Settings -> Editor -> Live templates -> AndroidLog"
2. Click the plus button, select "1. Live Template"
3. Fill the fields like I did:
   • Abbreviation: le
   • Description: Log.e(TAG, String)
   • Template text: android.util.Log.e(TAG, "$METHOD_NAME$ failed: $content$");
4. Click "Edit varables", select "methodName()" for METHOD_NAME variable
5. One more important thing! Define context to Java -> Statement:
6. Click "Apply", click "OK", Enjoy your own template! :)

Official documentation is here.
