When you run react-native run-android, you should see the root cause. In my project, root cause is:

Caused by: org.gradle.internal.resolve.ModuleVersionNotFoundException: 
Could not find com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:18.1.0.

So I fixed this by add this line

buildscript {
    ext {
        playServicesVersion = "18.0.0"
    }
}
