I actually realized you just need to change this line in /android/cordova/lib/builders/ProjectBuilder.js:

var distributionUrl = process.env['CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL'] || 'https\\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip';

this is simply reproducible by creating your cordova project and then attempting to operate a different gradle version namely the one android studio likes.

I’m running Android Studio 3.4.2, which is their current latest release with Gradle 4.x without problems, so I don’t think it’s quite that simple.

I think this might also be related to https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/issues/718
