Build error if i use ionic start <name> push starter template

I am using the starter template for ionic push notifications. I started with this tutorial https://www.airpair.com/javascript/posts/push-it-real-good-with-ionic
I created a starter template using ionic start ionicpush push

When i run the command ionic build android with making any changes in the app, i am getting the following errors. I am unable to build for android, but i am able to build for iOS.
