First add the cordova File Plugin into your project.Then use the following code :
var reader = new FileReader();
var fileSource = <file path>;
reader.onloadend = function(evt) {
if(evt.target.result != null) {
// If you receive not null value the file exists
} else {
// Otherwise the file doesn't exists
}
};
// We are going to check if the file exists
reader.readAsDataURL(fileSource);
