-s sets JAMSHELL in the global module.  An updating
action is evaluated in the module of its toolset.
There's no way to set JAMSHELL globally.  Also, I
assume that you only want the script to be called
for running the tests, not for the compiler.  What
you want is testing.runner=.../run_on_android.bat.
