Can not set selected day's background color in Android

I tried to set the selected day’s background like this:

  <Calendar
        current={this.state.date}
        firstDay={1}
        markedDates={markedDates)}
      />

with markedDates values:

{
  '2017-11-28': {
    selected: true,
    color: '#dd4b39'
  },
  '2017-11-27': {
    selected: true,
    color: '#dd4b39'
  },
  '2017-11-24': {
    selected: true,
    color: '#dd4b39'
  }
}

But it still shows the default color BLUE for selected day. Need help!

Set this colors in prop theme.

theme={{
    ...
    selected: '#E94D49',
    selectedDayBackgroundColor: '#E94D49',
    selectedDayTextColor: '#fff',
}}
