build cordova new empty project and target to android-22

I want to set android-22 as target android sdk. I need it as workaroud permission issue with camera on Android 6 and higher. (described here https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html, suggested here Workaround for Android 6.0 Permissions ) But my cordova 6.2.1 sets default sdk 23. I have changed it in AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="22" />

built but the apk was the same size as if I buld for android-23. So, to be sure that it is built for android-22, I have removed sdk-23 and left only sdk-22. Build didn't start and Cordova said, I need android-23 sdk

e:projectsandroidqp2>cordova build --release
Error: Please install Android target: "android-23".

Hint: Open the SDK manager by ruing: "c:androidandroid-sdktoolsandroid.bat
"
You will require:
1. "SDK Platform" for android-23
2. "Android SDK Platform-tools (latest)
3. "Android SDK Build-tools" (latest)

, so I changed target to android-22 in project.properties and CordovaLib/project.properties as suggested here . Build failed.

Shortly, my problem is, I don't know how to target other, than newest android-23 platform. Project is empty, just created, with no plugins and no code.

Is it possible to create and build for android-22 in cordova 6.2.1. Should I downgrade cordova?
