I had the same problem that the AVD Manager didn't show up after I installed Android Studio 3.0.1. and I could not run my Ionic app in the emulator. After hours of researching this answer finally helped: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47727706/9386896

Start a blank project
Android Studio complained that certain SDK tools are missing and offers you to install them
After all tools where installed by Android Studio, I could finally create a virtual device via the AVD Manager.

I guess that may help Windows and Mac users.

Use ctrl+shift+A to open the search and type AVD Manager and select it. From there you can manage all your virtual devices like Launch, edit config, delete Device etc...

You can find it in:

tool->Android->AVD Manager.

If you want to make the AVD Manager icon be visible, you can doing this:

Right click on the Toolbar and select the Customize Menu and Toolbar.., Choose the Main Toolbar.

Then,you can see this:

Click on the Restore Default, then the AVD Manager will be visible. Hope this can help you. :-)

Make sure you have installed Android emulator from sdk manager

Then go to tools -->android-->avd manager

if it doesn't work check settings-->plugins-->android support that it(android support) is installed or not
