-PpropertyName=value

My idea was to not provide every property via command line, but have two gradle.properties that can be used for common development and for android releases

[tapchicoma]

like having additional release.gradle.properties and use it only for release buids

Maybe you could conditionally apply from "release.gradle.properties?

I don't think so, this is usually for adding Gradle script files

[fitzoh]

oops, .properties, my bad

[gildor]

Just do that manually, pass command line option from CLI, then just read required file with config. It's not a Gradle properties, but you can manually register them as Gradle property if you want. Use standard Java Properties class to parse config file

I think I will go with using --gradle-user-home command line option pointing to different folders with gradle.properties inside. Per documentation gradle.properties in user home overrides project gradle.properties.
