I want to add a text file on Android Studio where to place internal comments, ideas, development status, pendings, etc.

The issue is that I don't want this file to be part of deployment APK's, but I want to have it inside Android Studio project for simplicity.

I found somewhere that suggest to put it at resources folder: res/raw, but this content will be deployed on APK and I don't want it.

Create a notes/ directory off of the project root. Or a docs/ directory. Or whatever you want.

Everything inside of src/ for a module is a candidate for being included in an APK. Conversely, stuff in directories that Android Studio does not know about (e.g., notes/, docs/, super-sekrit-stuff/) will not be included in an APK, unless you do something specific in the Gradle build files to request that they be included.

Just put it top level, right into your project folder and above app. Similar files such as the README, COPYING and BUILDING are placed there. For more info just search a bit through GitHub and you will find plenty of such structural examples.
