Solution

  • To change status bar color use setStatusBarColor(int color).

    Working snippet of code:

    Window window = activity.getWindow();
    window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
    window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
    window.setStatusBarColor(activity.getResources().getColor(R.color.example_color));
