Building Android with --production flag prevents cmd/script from exiting properly

# Bug Report

**Ionic Info**

```
cli packages: (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\nvm\v9.4.0\node_modules)

@ionic/cli-utils : 1.19.2
ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.20.0

System:

Node : v9.4.0
npm : 5.6.0
OS : Windows 10

Misc:

```

**Describe the Bug**

Building a production build of a ionic cordova android apk causes batch scripts to hang indefinitely until the script window is force terminated. Note this only happens when using the --release flag. If the release flag is not used, then batch scripts exit successfully

i.e.
```
Running `ionic cordova build android` builds a valid APK and exits with 0

Running 'ionic cordoca build --release android' builds a valid APK but hangs on exit. It appears there is a npm process in the background preventing cmd from fully exiting when using the --production flag
```

**Steps to Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launch a new CMD terminal
2. Enter a Ionic workspace that can be build for Android
3. Run `ionic cordova build android` and wait for it to finish the build
4. Run `exit 0'
5. Note that CMD terminal should close successfully
6. Launch a new CMD terminal
7. Enter the same Ionic workspace as before
8. Run `ionic cordova build --release android` and wait for it to finish the build
9. Run `exit 0'
10. Note that CMD terminal hangs and has to be force closed

**Expected Behavior**
running `ionic cordova build --release android` should exit successfully after successful or failed builds without hanging the CMD instance.

**Additional Context**
This issue is preventing our build system from continuing after building a APK flagged with the --release flag. The only work around we have been able to find is to not use the production flag
