For those who tried everything but not not working. Please check that if you set darkmode with AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode and the system is not dark, then Configuration.setLocale will not work above Andorid 7.0.

Add this code in your every activity to solve this issue:

override fun applyOverrideConfiguration(overrideConfiguration: Configuration?) {
  if (overrideConfiguration != null) {
    val uiMode = overrideConfiguration.uiMode
    overrideConfiguration.setTo(baseContext.resources.configuration)
    overrideConfiguration.uiMode = uiMode
  }
  super.applyOverrideConfiguration(overrideConfiguration)
}
