Steps to Reproduce

(Write your steps here:)

People had different steps

My steps:

1. On Android of course, testing StatusBar.translucent on device is also giving undefined:

import { StatusBar } from 'react-native'

console.log('StatusBar.translucent:', StatusBar.translucent); // should be false - is undefined
StatusBar.setTranslucent(true);
console.log('StatusBar.translucent:', StatusBar.translucent); // should be true - is undefined

@markentingh steps

I tried posting a comment to closed bug #12618, but there is more to the bug than just background color. The translucency is not being set as well.

Running React Native 0.46.4 on Windows 10 in an Android emulator, emulating a Google Pixel phone with Android version 7. Also tested on Moto E 2nd Gen phone running Android 5.1

In the first screenshot, you can clearly see a translucent StatusBar with no background color, even though I set the translucent property to false & backgroundColor to "blue".

In the second screenshot, I set hidden to true, and the StatusBar did infact hide, so the component is working (somewhat).

@ArvoGuo steps:

Device: MIX 2
System Version: MIUI 8.5

only prop hidden work well

prop backgroundColor and barStyle doesn't work

code:

<View>
   <StatusBar
        backgroundColor="green"
        barStyle="dark-content" 
   />
</View> 

nothing happend!!!

Expected Behavior

StatusBar.translucent should return proper value

Actual Behavior

StatusBar.translucent should returns undefined
