title: Transparent backgroundColor for an Image using React Native on Android
body: <p>I have an asset with transparent background being used on our app. While on iOS, setting <code>backgroundColor: 'transparent'</code> for the Image component works as expected, on Android, it always gets rendered with a light grey background.</p>
  
  <p>In fact, backgroundColor value seems to be completely ignored on Android.</p>
  
  <p>This is how it looks right now:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7tgaa.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7tgaa.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;View style={styles.cardHeader}&gt;
    &lt;Image
      source={require('../assets/images/greeting.png')}
      style={styles.greetingImage} /&gt;
  &lt;/View&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><em>Styles</em>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cardHeader: {
    alignSelf: 'stretch',
    backgroundColor: Color.GREY,
    paddingTop: 30,
    borderTopLeftRadius: 5,
    borderTopRightRadius: 5
  },
  
  greetingImage: {
    alignSelf: 'center',
    backgroundColor: 'transparent'
  }
  </code></pre>
