CLI: 5.2.0
Reproducible on Windows

When running angular project with --hmr changes to app.css file seems to reload angular components also.

1. tns create NGApp --ng
2. In the items.components.ts file in the ngOnInit() method add console log in my case: console.log("QA: items component on init");
3. tns run android --hmr
4. Make changes to app.css

Expected: only app.css is updated, no angular reload
Actual: In the log you can see the angular messages and the console log from items.components.ts file
