How to change the background color of android status bar

I want to change the background color of the status bar by writing an application. My android device has black color, I want to change it to some other color. I saw some posts related to it here, but they are telling about notification background.

If any body knows about this please help me.

Solution

Sorry, unless you are making a custom ROM this isn't possible, unless you only want the status bar changed for your app.

This would require a heck of a lot of work.

First you will need to add Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen to your manifest

<application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" 
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
        >

Then once you have done that you need to create a standard layout which represents the status bar, this would mean that you have to add the time, and also receive all the notifications from other apps, I do not personally know how to do that but I'm sure there is a way.

If you really want to do this goodluck, you have a hard time ahead of you.

Sorry, unless you have the knowledge how to build custom ROMS I do not think this is possible
