You can do that with the following code. it's just working on v23 API.

In your: values-v23/styles.xml:

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

Is there a backport for pre API v23? – Etienne Lawlor Dec 15 '16 at 14:25
It does not work for me. Is there any special theme I must use for that to work? – Sermilion Jun 28 '17 at 06:34

I use "Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar" and it works. – Neela Aug 08 '17 at 16:44
