Cordova 5.1.1 Splashscreen not working

I am trying to get the splashscreen work on my android device (Redmi 1S, Android Version 4.4.4 KTU84P). The app runs fine on my device, but the splashscreen does not appear. The splashscreen images gets copied and renamed as "screen.png" into the respective "platforms\android\res\drawable*" directories. I have not installed any splashscreen plugin for cordova. Below is the content from config.xml at project root directory.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<widget id="com.victor.workshop" version="0.0.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">

        <splash src="res/android/splashscreens/port-xhdpi.png" density="port-xhdpi"/>
    </platform>


    <preference name="SplashScreen" value="screen" />
    <preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000" />

</widget>

Any help or pointer appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The splash screen plugin is required since cordova android 4.0 to show the splash screen

Major Changes

Splash screen functionality is now provided via plugin

You will need to add the new cordova-plugin-splashscreen plugin to continue using a splash screen

https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2015/04/15/cordova-android-4.0.0.html

So, install it with

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-splashscreen

And everything should just work after that
