Cordova build command fails from command Prompt. Task 'cdvBuildDebug' not found in root project 'android'

Question

I am trying to build and generate APK using command prompt. When I used command "cordova build android" for building the project, I am stuck at following issue:

ANDROID_HOME=C:\Phonegap\sdk JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151 Starting a new Gradle Daemon for this build (subsequent builds will be faster). Incremental java compilation is an incubating feature.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: Task 'cdvBuildDebug' not found in root project 'android'. BUILD FAILED

Total time: 36.254 secs

• Try: Run gradlew tasks to get a list of available tasks. Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Error: cmd: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output: FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Can anyone tell me where is this property "cdvBuildDebug" resides and how can i fix this issue?
