Hi douglasfumec,  
I’ve fixed with

`cordova run android -- --gradleArg=-PcdvMinSdkVersion=19`

Or you can try one of these methods listed here  
[https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/index.html#setting-gradle-properties](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/index.html#setting-gradle-properties)

Hope this help.

Lorenzo
