Cannot have a Transparent Status Bar using DrawerLayout and Collapsing ToolbarLayout

Question

First thing first I have no problem that drawer is not under status bar and problem of that sort . That is working fine.

Second we have a great option of showing transparent status bar with image behind it using Collapsing Toolbar . E.g -

Here you can see that status bar is transparent .

Now if I use the DrawerLayout instead of Cordinator one , (where Coordinator is direct child of DrawerLayout) I get this result -

Here is my code snippet -

    </android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Do note that even though first image is of different activity the exact same is happening in second one .

Your time is appreciated . Thanks in advance .

Add android:fitsSystemWindows="true" to CoordinatorLayout too.
