First you have to figure out where you installed the android SDK, I did not use the java eclipse package for android development but instead I went with the new google IDE android studio, now if you installed this application you probably grabbed it and installed at your applications folder this can be found at /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/ now you have to let your shell know about the location, this can be done by editing this file ~/.bash_profile or if you are using zsh it would be .zshrc.
Write the changes
Go the end of the file and add
Save the file
Compile the source file source ~/.zshrc
Go to application folder cd ~/MyAPPand run the following command ionic platform add android
Give it a shot ionic emulate android
NOTE: If for whatever reason the SDK does not show up in this directory /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/SDK/ Check here instead and the copy over the files if it does exist
