StatusBar background not being set & translucent=false not working

[markentingh]

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).

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
