How to change the status bar icon color in kitkat and lollipop?

Question

I want to change the color of status bar icons in my app. I googled it a lot but i did not found any thing. Plz provide me any help. For API below 23.

Thanks

Please be clear on the question. Is it the status bar color you're trying to change? or status bar icon? you mean notification icon? — SripadRaj, Jul 05 '16 at 10:58

This is possible on API level 23 and higher

<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>

As you said API>23, then its off-topic and should not answer. Use comment instead. – nyconing Sep 25 '17 at 06:13

Extracted from https://stackoverflow.com/a/24997241/6296561 :

Android 5.0 Lollipop introduced Material Design theme which automatically colors the status bar based on the ColorPrimaryDark value of the theme.

This is supported on device pre-lollipop thanks to the library support-v7-appcompat starting from version 21.
