title: Is it possible to create an absolutely positioned View that only blurs the content behind itself?
body: <p>I'm having some trouble figuring out if creating an absolutely positioned view that blurs the content behind is even possible in React Native. I couldn't find anything related to blurring in the documentation aside from the fact that you can apply blur to the ImageBackground element.</p>
  <p>My initial goal was to make the status bar of Android go on top of the content and have it be transparent and blurry, and I was able to make it transparent, but it seems that the React Native StatusBar component doesn't support any sort of blur so I had to figure out a different way.</p>
  <p>This is why I decided to create an absolutely positioned View that would stay under the status bar and give that View a blur, but I didn't find any examples on blurring Views.</p>
