This issue also occur if you do an upgrade to you cordova installation.
Check if your log error has something like:
Checking Java JDK and Android SDK versions
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=undefined (recommended setting) <-------------
ANDROID_HOME=/{path}/android-sdk-linux (DEPRECATED)
Using Android SDK: /usr/lib/android-sdk
Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)
In such case, just change ANDROID_HOME to ANDROID_SDK_ROOT in your ~/.bashrc
or similar config file.
Where before was:
export ANDROID_HOME="/{path}/android-sdk-linux"
Now is:
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT="/{path}/android-sdk-linux"
Don't forget source it: $ . ~/.bashrc after edition.
