Cordova 6.3.1 plugin.xml set minSdkVersion doesn't work

I'm working on a plugin for cordova and would like to set the minimum sdk version. However it isn't overwritten when I try to use these options in the plugin.xml file:

<platform name="android">
    <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="16" />
    <preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="23" />
</platform>

or in the manifest tag 

<config-file target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/manifest">
     <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="23" />
</config-file>

These ways are both phonegap ways to set the sdk versions and, if I'm correct, still cordova ways. But the first one gives an error:

Failed to install 'plugin.demo':Error: Variable(s) missing: ANDROID-MINSDKVERSION, ANDROID-TARGETSDKVERSION

And the second option just add a new row with uses-sdk, which also creates a lot of errors.

How do I set the sdk version in cordova (v6+)?
