React-native-orientation: Detect device rotation even Orientation.lock is set?

[KevKo1990]

Hi,
I have the use case, that I want to rotate a picture in a modal floating over my normal view, however not the component beneath the modal.

Is there a way to detect rotations of the device even I set before Orientation.lockToPortrait();?
Thanks!

@KevKo1990 : were you able to achieve the above mentioned use case?
I want to try that in Android and it's working in iOS.

@stoneman1 the @ronit-kadwane commit solves this problem, I can do a PR with that commit if you think it's ok. I've tested it on android.

This would be useful to have. Sometimes you don't want to use the built in orientation events.
