In this Google IO I once watched I believe the presenter (Patrick Dubroy) states the different logs, and their association: Google I/O: Memory Management for Android Apps

I hope this helps.

I don't think those log messages are documented.

If you're developing with Eclipse you are supposed to use DDMS perspective | Allocation Tracker to track your memory allocations.
