   That means you have have a plugin that defines a min sdk 16 which conflicts with cordova's requirement of min sdk of at least 19. 
   
   Afraid to say but it now looks like you're starting to run into a rabbit hole of using out-dated/unmaintained plugins.
   
   Aside from requesting the plugin maintainers to update their plugins there isn't a whole lot of good options you can do.
   
   The last `cordova-android` version that used `min-sdk` 16 was version 6.x. You can try downgrading, but other things may break.
   You can also try forcing cordova to use `min-sdk` 16 (see [cordova-android documentation](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/index.html#project-configuration)) but that could cause runtime failures that might be hard to catch, so that isn't recommended either.
   
   I took the liberty of adding all your plugins and forcing `min-sdk` to match, but it still does not build because of several native errors inside the `cordova-plugin-geofence` library. So you will either have to find a new geofence plugin that is up to date with maintenance, or you'll have to fork the library yourself and address the issues.
