Build error on Android (com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt)

Hello,

Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have
set up your Android development environment:

I am using React-native version 0.53

In my case, I have solved it doing as below:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'
....
}

Previously it was like:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'
....
}

@datadreamer1 android:resource="@mipmap/ic_notif" is in android/app/src/res/mipmap-*, for each path, you need to create a image called ic_notif.

This resolved the error
