I have used ui manager commands in SignatureCaptureViewManager. Posting my solutions

public class SignatureCaptureViewManager extends ViewGroupManager {
private Activity mCurrentActivity;

public static final String PROPS_SAVE_IMAGE_FILE="saveImageFileInExtStorage";
public static final String PROPS_VIEW_MODE = "viewMode";

public static final int COMMAND_SAVE_IMAGE = 1;


public SignatureCaptureViewManager(Activity activity) {
    mCurrentActivity = activity;
}

@Override
public String getName() {
    return "SignatureView";
}

@ReactProp(name = PROPS_SAVE_IMAGE_FILE)
public void setSaveImageFileInExtStorage(SignatureCaptureMainView view, @Nullable Boolean saveFile) {
    Log.d("React View manager setSaveFileInExtStorage:", "" + saveFile);
    if(view!=null){
        view.setSaveFileInExtStorage(saveFile);
    }
}

@ReactProp(name = PROPS_VIEW_MODE)
public void setViewMode(SignatureCaptureMainView view, @Nullable String viewMode) {
    Log.d("React View manager setViewMode:", "" + viewMode);
    if(view!=null){
        view.setViewMode(viewMode);
    }
}

@Override
public SignatureCaptureMainView createViewInstance(ThemedReactContext context) {
    Log.d("React"," View manager createViewInstance:");
    return new SignatureCaptureMainView(context, mCurrentActivity);
}

@Override
public Map getCommandsMap() {
    Log.d("React"," View manager getCommandsMap:");
    return MapBuilder.of(
            "saveImage",
            COMMAND_SAVE_IMAGE);
}

@Override
public void receiveCommand(
        SignatureCaptureMainView view,
        int commandType,
        @Nullable ReadableArray args) {
    Assertions.assertNotNull(view);
    Assertions.assertNotNull(args);
    switch (commandType) {
        case COMMAND_SAVE_IMAGE: {
            view.saveImage();
            return;
        }

        default:
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(String.format(
                    "Unsupported command %d received by %s.",
                    commandType,
                    getClass().getSimpleName()));
    }
}


}

For sending commands to ViewManager i have added this method in Signature Capture component

class SignatureCapture extends React.Component {

constructor() {
super();
this.onChange = this.onChange.bind(this);
}

onChange(event) {
console.log("Signature  ON Change Event");
if (!this.props.onSaveEvent) {
  return;
}

this.props.onSaveEvent({
  pathName: event.nativeEvent.pathName,
  encoded: event.nativeEvent.encoded,
});
 }

 render() {
  return (
   
);
  }

saveImage(){
 UIManager.dispatchViewManagerCommand(
        React.findNodeHandle(this),
        UIManager.SignatureView.Commands.saveImage,
        [],
    );
   }
 }

SignatureCapture.propTypes = {
...View.propTypes,
rotateClockwise: PropTypes.bool,
square:PropTypes.bool,
saveImageFileInExtStorage: PropTypes.bool,
viewMode:PropTypes.string
};

  var SignatureView = requireNativeComponent('SignatureView',   SignatureCapture, {
 nativeOnly: {onChange: true}
 });

 module.exports = SignatureCapture;

This is how i am using SignatureCapture component in my parent Signature component

class Signature extends Component {

render() {

    return (
        

            

             { this.saveSign() } } >
                Save
            

        
    );
}
// Calls Save method of native view and triggers onSaveEvent callback
saveSign() {
    this.refs["sign"].saveImage();        
}

_onSaveEvent(result) {
    //result.encoded - for the base64 encoded png
    //result.pathName - for the file path name
    console.log(result);
  }

  }

 export default Signature;
