Splash Screen does not appear correctly in Android 12

See original GitHub issue

Issue Description

After upgrading an android device to android 12 or using an android 12 emulator, the splash screen image no longer appears when the app loads. This has been brought up in discord at least twice, but there has been no response or guidance.

Google has posted documentation on migrating splash screens here: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/splash-screen/migrate

Reproduction

  1. Set up an emulator that uses android 12 (api 31)
  2. Create a new sample NS project using the ns cli (tested on 8.1.4). Note that I needed to follow the solution posted in https://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript/issues/9659 and add android:exported="true" to the application node in the AndroidManifest.xml file
  3. Run the project as usual (ns debug android, etc.) and observe the logo does not appear (the background does appear, though):

I played around with this a little, Here is a demo which utilizes the new Splash API while keeping the old splash screen for API < 31.

We also noticed that issue on our Motorola device, however it seems to be related to the Nova Launcher somehow. When switching back to the default launcher, the Splashscreen is shown as expected.
