I'm not 100% sure but I think that only java 1.8 is currently supported. 
See: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/

EDIT: Found numerous comments on the list that suggest that only 1.8 is supported.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-14101
>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 8.0.0
>         Environment: OS = Arch Linux
> JAVA = javac 9.0.4
> CORDOVA = 8.0.0
>            Reporter: Arne Simon
>            Priority: Major
>
> The java version  i am using produces following output.
> {code}
> > javac -version 
> javac 9.0.4
> {code}
>  
> The error happens in two points:
> {code:java}
> // We use tryCommand with catchStderr = true, because
> // javac writes version info to stderr instead of stdout
> return tryCommand('javac -version', msg, true).then(function (output) {
>   // Let's check for at least Java 8, and keep it future proof so we can support Java 10
>   var match = /javac ((?:1\.)(?:[8-9]\.)(?:\d+))|((?:1\.)(?:[1-9]\d+\.)(?:\d+))/i.exec(output);
>   return match && match[1];
> });{code}
> 1. _platforms/android/cordova/lib/check_reqs.js:218_
> The comment states that javac prints to stderr, this is not true on my system it prints to stdout!
> 2. _platforms/android/cordova/lib/check_reqs.js:220_
> The regex only looks after version numbers like 1.8 or 1.9 or 10, but the version number my java version prints is _9.0.4_
