   I don't use all the StatusBar properties, but in my apps I do use `StatusBarOverlaysWebview` and I support android versions from 4.1 to latest.
   
   I have several different physical devices to test with:
   - CAT B15 Phone (Android 4.1) - Overlay has no effect
   - Samsung Galaxy s4 (Android 4.4) - Overlay has no effect
   - Samsung Galaxy s5 (Android 6.0) - Overlay works
   - Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo (Android 7) - Overlay works
   - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Android 8.1) - Overlay works
   - Google Pixel (Android 9) - Overlay works
   
   All of my apps are built with cordova cli 8.1.2, cordova-android 7, and statusbar 2.4.2.
   
   I believe overlay webview works on Android 5.0 and later because translucent status bars is possible as of Android 5.0 and greater.
   
   > * `StatusBarOverlaysWebView` seems to have no effect
   
   I also would like to point out that there is a bug that was previously reported at #122 where the plugin doesn't respect the config.xml preference and instead just defaults to overlay true. The ticket reported it for iOS but it appears to happen on Android as well. Using the javascript API `StatusBar.overlaysWebView(true);` definitely does work on the android devices I listed.
   
   The documentation, at least for the overlay preference I think is definitely misleading.
