Any updates on this?!?! We've got the same problem.... :(
@qiepeipei did you find any solution?

Navigation.events().registerCommandListener((name, { componentId }) => {
  console.log(name, componentId)
})

returns
Also showOverlay, undefined

You can hardcode the id of the overlay:

  Navigation.showOverlay({
    component: {
      name: 'test',
      id: 'test',
      options: {
        layout: {
          backgroundColor: 'transparent',
        },
        overlay: {
          interceptTouchOutside: false,
        },
      },
    },
  })

Then you know the id beforehand and can close it by Navigation.dismissOverlay('test)

This is still an issue in 4.5.3!

@Eldavid If I understand the issue correctly, you're expecting componentDidAppear event to be emitted after an Overlay is dismissed.
componentDidAppear isn't emitted after Overlay is dismissed since when an Overlay is displayed, no screen disappears. Overlay is displayed in a different hierarchy level and doesn't cause screens in the app root or modals to disappear.

Really, you are right! This is the expected behaviour.
