use push instead of navigate

this.props.navigation.push('UserHome');

It is not homepage duty to know if you have to refresh the page. The suggested approach is that when the condition to reload is met (avatar update, user properties changes, etc) then the calling entity should go to the homepage and if needed ask for a reload (i.e., window.location.reload(true))

If you add a listener on the home page through the navigation prop, you can call a function when a transition to or from the home page is about to happen ('willFocus'/'willBlur') or if it has completed ('didFocus'/'didBlur'). This worked for me:

componentDidMount(){
  this.props.navigation.addListener('willFocus',this.load)
}
load = () => {
  //whatever you want to do when the page loads
}
