I tried to set `SystemUiVisibility` flag to `SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_NAVIGATION_BAR` to enable Android's light soft navigation bar, but when I had `<StatusBar />` component in my view, then it was always overwritten. This is how I found the bug and fixed it.

1. In MainActivity you can set systemUiFlags like this in onCreate method
```
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
            Window window = getWindow();
            View rootView = window.getDecorView().getRootView();
            rootView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_NAVIGATION_BAR);
        }
```
2. Add <StatusBar /> to a view
3. In `android/app/build.gradle` file set `targetSdkVersion` to **27** instead of 22 or something like that
4. In `android/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml` add 2 lines to `AppTheme`
```
        <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
        <item name="android:navigationBarColor">#ffffff</item>
```
5. Run the app.
6. Test. Previously bottom soft navigation bar was set to white and buttons also to white (so they weren't visible anymore), because StatusBar was overwriting previously set systemUiVisibility Flags. Now the bar should be white and buttons dark as expected.

This pull request does not change any existing feature. It only makes StatusBar coloring work more properly without affecting bottom navigation bar on android or any other system ui visibility feature.
