Android 4.1
Description
When running `cordova run android` and an Android v4.1 device connected, the `adb` command fails.
You can read more about the error on the Ionic CLI issues, as ionic calls cordova: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/issues/441
Looking at the source code, the `device.js` file will try to run this command:
'adb install -s ' + resolvedTarget.target + ' -r -d "' + apk_path + '"'
As you can see, it passes the -d option, which works fine for most android 4.2+ devices.
However, when Android 4.1 is involved, this error occurs:
```

My guess here is that this is an issue with the `adb` tool.
Can anyone else confirm this is an issue? The adb tool does not work with `-d` on Android 4.1.
