'React Native selectionColor is not changing the Cursor Color

I need to change the cursor color of the react-native TextInput. I am using the selectionColor props and setting the color but it is not changing the cursor color of the TextInput. I have found a workaround for and added the following code to my android/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml file

<item name="colorControlActivated">@android:color/black</item>

This works but its sets the global color for all the screens and this does not work for my screens with a black background. Here is how I am using the text input.

<TextInput
                          selectionColor={'black'}
                          placeholderTextColor="gray"
                          textBreakStrategy="highQuality"
                          placeholder="12"
                          style={styles.input__style}
                          keyboardType="number-pad" />
