Summary: On Android, pressing the hardware back button while LogBox notification toasts or the full inspector overlay are visible has no effect on the JS side. The only way to dismiss notifications is the on-screen X button, and the only way to close the inspector is via Minimize/Dismiss. This adds `BackHandler` listeners to both JS containers: **Notification toasts**: A new `LogBoxNotificationBackHandler` component mounts alongside the toasts and registers a `hardwareBackPress` listener that calls `clearWarnings()` + `clearErrors()`, equivalent to pressing X on every visible toast. The component returns null and auto-cleans the listener on unmount. **Inspector overlay**: `LogBoxInspectorContainer` registers a `hardwareBackPress` listener in `componentDidMount` that calls `_handleMinimize()` (`setSelectedLog(-1)`), closing the overlay non-destructively — same as pressing the Minimize button. Changelog: [Android][Added] - Allow LogBox notification toasts and inspector overlay to be dismissed via Android back button Differential Revision: D101178179
