Finally after a lot of trials managed to do this. These are the steps.

• 1) Using this link, export android project for Gradle. Select Gradle in the Build Settings window and check the Export Project checkbox. Click Export and select the destination folder.

• 4d) During Code integration section of this link, focus on the following section: If you are using a starter kit for React Native, replace the "HelloWorld" string with the one in your index.android.js file (it’s the first argument to the AppRegistry.registerComponent() method). Here you have to replace with the project name.

• 5) Before going through "Test your Integration" section, you have to add code to call MyReactActivity from UnityActivity. This link will help.
