You can use React Native Status Bar(detailed description here). All you need to do is wrapping navigator with a view and adding a StatusBar component above it. Don't forget to import StatusBar from 'react-native' package.

  
  
      
        
    }
  />

One thing I've noticed is that you should style the parent View with flex:1, without it you'll just see a white blank screen. It's not mentioned in RN Documents though.
