No convenient way to get user's Installation object

[kmjennison]

I couldn't find an easy way to get the user's installation object from within React Native using ParseReact on Android. The goal was to add additional data to the user's Installation object (e.g. their user ID) to be able to target individual users with push notifications.

I ended up writing my own native module to call ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation() and return the object ID to javascript.

Is there a more convenient way to do this?
