Platform

Standalone component to reproduce
import React from 'react';
import {
  MapView,

class Example extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <MapView
        logoEnabled={false}
        style={{ flex: 1 }}
        attributionEnabled={false}
        styleURL="mapbox://styles/mapbox/satellite-streets-v11"

        <UserLocation
          visible
          showsUserHeadingIndicator
        />
      </MapView>
    );
  }
}
Observed behavior and steps to reproduce

After updating to the latest version of rnmapbox 10.0.13, I've seen that this property has no effect on Android devices.

Android:
Android device

iOS:
iOS device

Expected behavior

The heading indicator should be shown in Android when the property is set to true.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the standalone React Native example on Android with @rnmapbox/maps 10.0.13, then trace the UserLocation component and the showsUserHeadingIndicator property through the Android implementation. Done means the heading indicator is visible on Android when the property is true, matching the reported iOS behavior.
