I had figured out the reason:
See the code GradleBuilder.prototype.prepEnv in $PROJECT_ROOT/platforms/android/cordova/lib/builders/GradleBuilder.js。

A quick fix :

export CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL=file:///local/path/to/gradle-2.4-all.zip
cordova run android

Notice:

  1. This will unzip to $USER_HOME/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-2.4-all/5i28vc5j9c3ssbtreg4518ujvp/gradle-2.4 .
  2. export command must always be executed before run cordova.

If the network is slow, you download gradle-2.2.1-all.zip manually, then use this method once.

Also, you can change GradleBuilder.js's code or request a enhancement/issue.
