Android statusbar icons color

Question

I was wondering if it s possible to change the statusbar icons colour  not the statusbar colour  colorPrimaryDark   Let s say I want this statusbar with   lt item name  colorPrimaryDark  gt  android color white lt  item gt     and the icons in black  is it possible   Thanks   EDIT      New in the M developer preview  windowLightStatusBar  Flipping this on   in your theme tells the system to use a dark foreground  useful for   lighter colored status bars  Note the M preview seems to have a bug   where notification icons remain white  while system status icons   correctly change to semitransparent black    from  Roman Nurik Google  post

eOnOe has answered how we can change status bar tint through xml  But we can also change it dynamically in code   if  Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   Build VERSION CODES M        View decor   getWindow   getDecorView        if  shouldChangeStatusBarTintToDark            decor setSystemUiVisibility View SYSTEM UI FLAG LIGHT STATUS BAR         else              We want to change tint color to white again             You can also record the flags in advance so that you can turn UI back completely if            you have set other flags before  such as translucent or full screen          decor setSystemUiVisibility 0

Yes you can change it  but in api 22 and above  using NotificationCompat Builder and setColorized true     NotificationCompat Builder mBuilder   new NotificationCompat Builder context  context getPackageName                     setContentTitle title                   setContentText message                   setSmallIcon icon  level                   setLargeIcon largeIcon                   setContentIntent intent                   setColorized true                   setDefaults 0                   setCategory Notification CATEGORY SERVICE                   setVisibility NotificationCompat VISIBILITY PUBLIC                   setPriority NotificationCompat PRIORITY HIGH

Setting windowLightStatusBar to true not works with Mi phones  some Meizu phones  Blackview phones  WileyFox etc  I ve found such hack for Mi and Meizu devices  This is not a comprehensive  solution of this perfomance problem  but maybe it would be useful to somebody   And I think  it would be better to tell your customer that coloring status bar  for example  white - is not a good idea  instead of using different hacks it would be better to define appropriate colorPrimaryDark according to the guidelines

if you have API level smaller than 23 than you must use it this way  it worked for me declare this under v21 style    lt item name  colorPrimaryDark  tools targetApi  23  gt  color colorPrimary lt  item gt           lt item name  android windowLightStatusBar  tools targetApi  23  gt true lt  item gt

Not since Lollipop  Starting with Android 5 0  the guidelines say      Notification icons must be entirely white    Even if they re not  the system will only consider the alpha channel of your icon  rendering them white  Workaround  The only way to have a coloured icon on Lollipop is to lower your targetSdkVersion to values  lt 21  but I think you would do better to follow the guidelines and use white icons only   If you still however decide you want colored icons  you could use the DrawableCompat setTint method from the new v4 support library

Yes it s possible to change it to gray  no custom colors  but this only works from API 23 and above you only need to add this in your values-v23 styles xml   lt item name  android windowLightStatusBar  gt true lt  item gt
