Just add the following code to your App.js file inside your class component.

    componentDidMount(){
        StatusBar.setBarStyle( 'light-content',true)
        StatusBar.setBackgroundColor("Your color Hex-code here")
    }

And add this to your import statements.

    import {StatusBar} from 'react-native';
