cordova build android throws error on Ubuntu 12.04

The issue looks very familiar with this Error: ANDROID_HOME is not set and "android" command not in your PATH. You must fulfill at least one of these conditions.

But I am not able to fix it. When I run

% sudo cordova build android

I am getting the following error

Running command:   /home/thabung/mobile/hello/platforms/android/cordova/build 
[Error: ANDROID_HOME is not set and "android" command not in your PATH. You must fulfill at least one of these conditions.]
ERROR building one of the platforms: Error: /home/thabung/mobile/hello/platforms/android/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2
You may not have the required environment or OS to build this project
Error: /home/thabung/mobile/hello/platforms/android/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2

  at maybeClose (child_process.js:766:16)
  at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:833:5)

Few things I am observing

 % echo $ANDROID_HOME

returns me

 ~/mobile/android-sdk-linux

which is perfect location & android command also works fine. Please help.. I am using cordova 4.3.0

This ...

sudo cordova build android

runs in the environment of root whereas this ...

echo $ANDROID_HOME

was not executed as root. Check what echo $ANDROID_HOME returns as root - or (strongly recommended) - run Cordova as another user than root.

p.s.: I'm running Cordova 4.0.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 without sudo.
