I am using Phonegap CLI 6.0.3 to generate android app. I want to set minSdkVersion = 19.

according to how-do-i-specify-the-android-api-level-in-phonegap and how-can-i-specify-the-minimum-sdk-in-phonegap-it-is-ignoring-android-minsdkvers, i should modify the sdk number in 

<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="19" />

However, when i try to install the app in a android 4.3 phone (sdk 18), it still work. how can i forbid people intall my app in andorid phone sdk = 18 or below?

You should change it manually in

  yourproject/config.xml

    <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="19"/>

The next time you build, Cordova should set it on the Android Manifest.

If that doesn't work, you can change it in

  yourproject/platforms/Android/AndroidManifest.xml

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" android:targetSdkVersion="XX" />

But keep in mind that this file is built automatically and isn't really meant to be changed, so it can be overriden or some other unexpected behaviour.
