SASmith , i don't want to change the status bar colour. My problem is When my app uses location services in background mode and if i minimise my app, then status bar highlights with blue colour bar just like when you create Hotspot or minimise a phone call. — K_Mohit, Jun 11 '15 at 12:03

You can use requestAlwaysAuthorization instead of requestWhenInUseAuthorization on CLLocationManager (and provide the related NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription in the info.plist file), and then it will not appear either.

It is not possible as Apple reminds user that the respective application using his location in background mode. It concerns with privacy policy by apple.

True only when when using requestWhenInUseAuthorization. requestAlwaysAuthorization doesn't show the bar. – Sahil Kapoor Jun 11 '15 at 12:54
