How to add icon (image, logo..) to the status bar

Question

I have noticed that there is no props for the StatusBar component (React Native) to include an icon or logo of any kind as in this documentation: https://facebook.github.io/rea

Answer 1

For iOS it's not possible to add any custom icons in the status bar, apple doesn't allow it.

For Android you should use Notification and Notification Manager. Just write a native module in java who do this when your app is launching. React Native allow you to call Native Module written in Java, take a look here https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/native-modules-android.html
