How to display GIF in react-native android app?

I want to display a simple gif via URL in my Image tag in my android react-native app but when I start it no image is shown. The code as provided in the docs does work only for iOS but not for android:

<Image
  style={styles.gif}
  source={{uri: 'http://38.media.tumblr.com/9e9bd08c6e2d10561dd1fb4197df4c4e/tumblr_mfqekpMktw1rn90umo1_500.gif'}}
/>

There was a similar question here but as already said this only works for iOS: How do I display an animated gif in React Native?
Regarding this commit it should work though: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/fcd7de5301655b39832d49908e5ca72ddaf91f7e
