Apache Cordova - Application doesn't work on Android 2.2.3

I have created a new project. On Android 5 it works perfectly. I am trying to run on 2.3.3 but during installation I am getting a message "There is a problem parsing the package".

I think I need set minSdkVersion 8 for Android 2.2.3:

<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="8" />

but the compilation fails:

uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 8 cannot be smaller than version 14 declared in ..AndroidManifest.xml

If I set 14, the application installation also doesn't work on 2.2.3. How I can solve this problem?

The latest Cordova release that supports Android 2.2 is the 2.9.

As reported in the latest Cordova documentation (bold is mine):

Cordova supports Android 4.0.x (starting with Android API level 14) and higher. As a general rule, Android versions become unsupported by Cordova as they dip below 5% on Google's distribution dashboard. Android versions earlier than API level 10, and the 3.x versions (Honeycomb, API levels 11-13) fall significantly below that 5% threshold.
