Android - App screens are always visible no matter of screen is locked or unlocked

Issue

Hello,

This screenshots are from twilio reference app. So basically what annoys me screen is visible even if app is locked. I understand why it happens.

https://github.com/twilio/twilio-voice-react-native/blob/main/android/src/main/java/com/twiliovoicereactnative/VoiceActivityProxy.java

 // These flags ensure that the activity can be launched when the screen is locked.
    Window window = context.getWindow();
    window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED
      | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON
      | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);

It is kind of annoying because screen can have sensitive data to make it easily accessible can be problem.

Is this intentional behaviour or question is if i can prevent this problem?

I am having the same issue. You have to close the app then lock the phone for it to hide, otherwise its always visible when phone is locked. Has anyone figured out a work around?
