What is your ionic info output?
Is ionic cordova requirements happy?

I’m unsure if you were able to solve your issue, but I was plagued with this same problem. Here was my fix (Ubuntu 17.10 x64):

Install 32 bit dependances

sudo apt-get install -y lib32gcc1 libc6-i386 lib32z1 lib32stdc++6
sudo apt-get install -y lib32ncurses5 lib32gomp1 lib32z1-dev lib32bz2-dev

Ensure $ANDROID_HOME is set

Assuming you have Android Studio installed in home… does echo $ANDROID_HOME return it’s path? If not, add it to .bashrc:

# This will append two lines to the end of your .bashrc file.
# You'll need to reopen your any currently open terminals for this to take effect.
echo -e "export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk\nexport ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk2" >> ~/.bashrc

Check for further problems

I then used ionic info and ionic cordova requirements in a terminal window (pathed to my project) to ensure all was well. For me, it was. After doing the above steps, ionic cordova emulate android -lc worked like a charm!
