Hello,
check if you have proper build tools installed, Take a look to sdk manager.

@flotilla did you found a solution on that? have the same problem right now…

no, i couldnt find the solution.

which android version are you using in your project?
=> ionic cordova platform list

8 
> cordova platform ls
Installed platforms:
  android 7.0.0
Available platforms: 
  browser ~5.0.1
  ios ~4.5.4
  osx ~4.0.1
  windows ~5.0.0
  www ^3.12.0

I kind of found the solution, I had to update the build.gradle -files - this section:

...
    repositories {
        mavenCentral();
        maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
        jcenter()
    }
...

I’ve read somewhere that the order is important, because the above message said that it didn’t found the dependency manifest-merger ( and it does not exists with the given version from above ). But the question is, is this a problem of ionic, or cordova - and is this already fixed in another version?
-> we can’t always change the generated files if a new co-worker clones the repository of our project.

thanks in advance!

Usually you don’t need to do anything about the order manually.
I assume in this case something went wrong while installing the android platform to your project.
What you could do, just to see if this helps, is to remove the android platform and add it again.
I use ionic 4 and had never this problem.
=> ionic cordova platform add android@latest

and as you can see here:
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/

Your android version ist 7.x.x which ist for API level up to 27 and not 28
