I found a solution to a problem:

Instructions similar to those I followed (and that caused the problem) are available here, although with the versions of the dependencies a bit outdated:

https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup

What caused the problem in my case was to follow these instructions on the App creation page in Firebase and add the dependencies in the build.gradle files of the project and module as can be seen below:

Add in project build.gradle /project/platforms/android/build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter ()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
        Google()
    }
    dependencies {

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'

        // Firebase
        classpath 'com.google.gms: google-services: 4.0.0'
    }
}

And add in module build.gradle /project/platforms/android/app/build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral ()
        jcenter ()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
        Google()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'

        // Firebase
        classpath 'com.google.gms: google-services: 4.0.0'
        classpath 'com.google.firebase: firebase-core: 16.0.0'
    }
}

// Firebase, add at the end of the same file
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Solution:

The solution I found was to comment the lines that are preceded by the comment // Firebase:

File: /project/platforms/android/build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter ()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
        Google()
    }
    dependencies {

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'

        // Firebase
        // classpath 'com.google.gms: google-services: 4.0.0'
    }
}

File: /project/platforms/android/app/build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral ()
        jcenter ()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
        Google()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'

        // Firebase
        //classpath 'com.google.gms: google-services: 4.0.0'
        //classpath 'com.google.firebase: firebase-core: 16.0.0'
    }
}

// Firebase, add at the end of the same file
//apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

After these steps, everything worked fine and I was able to run $ cordova build android without problems.

Suggestion: If any other errors occur, try removing the plugins and platform, then re-create them:

$ ionic cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-bg-location-sender --save
$ ionic cordova platform rm android

$ ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-bg-location-sender --save
$ ionic cordova platform add android

Within your project directory, run:

./gradlew clean build

or from Android Studio select:

Build > Clean Project
