FAILURE: Build failed with an exception in React Native Android

Question

I'm using react-native-cli: 1.2.0 , react-native: 0.40.0 and working on Ubuntu 16.04.

I am trying to implement react-native-navigation with Android app, but it gives me an error like the following:

After downgrading to react-native 0.25.1 I have the following issues:

Last version of React Native where com.facebook.react.LifeCycleState exists is 0.34.x, so this module can not be used on react-native>=0.35.0 commit #406a1b3c

Actually I can see v2 branch, read carefully!

Update: same description about supported versions of React Native exists on main project page
