Try this in your bash_profile :

export ANDROID_HOME=/INSTALLATION-SDK_PATH/sdk
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH

Ionic Installation guide

Android SDK

Installing the Android SDK is also necessary. The Android SDK provides you the API libraries and developer tools necessary to build, test, and debug apps for Android.

Cordova requires the ANDROID_HOME environment variable to be set. This should point to the [ANDROID_SDK_DIR]\android-sdk directory (for example c:\android\android-sdk).

Next, update your PATH to include the tools/ and platform-tools/ folder in that folder. So, using ANDROID_HOME, you would add both %ANDROID_HOME%\tools and %ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools.

Also check you have latest android sdk installed. sometimes cordova doesn’t allow to add android platfrom if you have android sdk less then 19
