Flutter/Android: how to remove darkening layer in darkmode on Android (Xiaomi) during Splash Screen?

[yelmuratoff]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues
• I have read the guide to filing a bug

Steps to reproduce

I used:

android:theme="@style/LaunchTheme"

and style in values-night:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <!-- Theme applied to the Android Window while the process is starting when the OS's Dark Mode setting is on -->
    <style name="LaunchTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar">
        <!-- Show a splash screen on the activity. Automatically removed when
             the Flutter engine draws its first frame -->
        <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/launch_background</item>
        <item name="android:forceDarkAllowed">false</item>
        <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
        <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
        <item name="android:windowLayoutInDisplayCutoutMode">shortEdges</item>
    </style>
    <!-- Theme applied to the Android Window as soon as the process has started.
         This theme determines the color of the Android Window while your
         Flutter UI initializes, as well as behind your Flutter UI while its
         running.

         This Theme is only used starting with V2 of Flutter's Android embedding. -->
    <style name="NormalTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar">
        <item name="android:windowBackground">#ffffff</item>
    </style>
</resources>

What i want:

And in my case:

I check some apps and some have a dark layer and some don't. So there are workarounds. If anyone knows, can you share? I use #ffffff color because when i put this one:

<item name="android:windowBackground">?android:colorBackground</item>

It is a dark color and as a result, just a black screen is shown there.

Expected results

Normal splash screen

Actual results

Splash screen with dark layer when i put white color in windowsBackground item and black color in default.
