After looking in android source it looks like there is dimens for navigation bar height :

@android:dimen/navigation_bar_height

There are other dimens linked to nav bar, examples from android values/dimens.xml : 

<!-- Height of the bottom navigation / system bar. -->
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height">48dp</dimen>
<!-- Height of the bottom navigation bar in portrait; often the same as @dimen/navigation_bar_height -->
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">48dp</dimen>
<!-- Width of the navigation bar when it is placed vertically on the screen -->
<dimen name="navigation_bar_width">42dp</dimen>
