First ensure that your Android Studio setup is correctly done. If want to do that from scratch refer these links - link1 and link2. In link2, you can choose your OS as well.

This ionic guide will help you setup ionic project correctly. If you follow this guide entirely, you will see the use of emulate, platform, run, serve, etc commands of ionic.

Basically what you need to do is first add an android platform to your project:

ionic cordova platform add android

And then emulate your project using:

ionic cordova emulate android
