Scrolling flatlist with talkback on android does not announce how far you've scrolled the list #30754

Description

With a vertical scrollable list in android I expect talkback to announce "In List showing item n to m of N" when doing a scroll gesture. However nothing is announced. On iOS voice over announces "Page n of N".
