For OSX

• into ~/.bash_profile add:

  export ANDROID_HOME="/path/to/android-sdk-macosx"
  export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH"
  

  and then execute it in terminal to take effect immediately;

• into /etc/sudoers add: (you can use console: sudo visudo)

  Defaults        env_keep += "ANDROID_HOME"
  

  since the building process has to start with sudo and Node's process.env get the respective variables.
