It looks more of a network issue. The gradle download will fail if you are using restricted proxy network. In case of network restrictions, you can work around this issue by following the steps below:

1) Download the required gradle version zip file from gradle distribution link and save it in local folder.
2) Navigate to PROJECT_ROOT_FOLDER/platforms/android/cordova/lib/builders folder and edit GradleBuilder.js file
3) Change the line from var distributionUrl = process.env['CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL'] || 'http\\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip'; to 'var distributionUrl = process.env['CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL'] || 'file:///local/path/to/folder/where/gradle/zip/is/saved/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip'; and save the file
4 Try rebuilding android build.

You can also try the following as quick fix,

1) In command prompt execute the following command: export CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL=file:///local/path/to/folder/where/gradle/zip/is/saved/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip
2) Exeucte the following command: cordova run android
