ComponentDidAppear for bottom tab not firing after modal that was pushed from side menu closes

[svenlombaert]

What happened?

When opening the side menu from a tab and opening showing a modal from the sidemenu, this is what happens:

• side menu disappears, bottom tab disappears, modal appears,

Then when closing the modal, this happens:

• side menu appears
• modal disappears

But no bottom tab appear event, whilst on iOS, we do get a bottom tab appears event

What was the expected behaviour?

Same behaviour on iOS, when closing the modal, I would expect:

• side menu appears
• bottom tab appears
• modal disappears

Was it tested on latest react-native-navigation?

• I have tested this issue on the latest react-native-navigation release and it still reproduces.
