Answer 1

Atlast i figured it now, First of all,Thanks to TWL for giving me an idea by a same issue of his question .

I removed the android:fitsSystemWindows="true" from the CoordinatorLayout.

Now, your notification bar's color is probably change to Transparent and looks horrible. So, i have added <item name="android:statusBarColor" tools:targetApi="lollipop">@color/colorPrimary</item> in styles.

Now everything is Okay.
