I am currently running Kitkat (4.4.2) in my phone and I installed an app.

In this app, the status bar is transparent and showing the content of the app below it. Please see the images.

How should I do it in my program.

Thanks in advance.

You can use this library to tint status bar color in kitkat.

https://github.com/jgilfelt/SystemBarTint

Following is code for MainActivity.java

  if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT == Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
        Window w = getWindow();
        w.setFlags(
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION,
                     WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION);
             w.setFlags(
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS,
                   WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
             SystemBarTintManager systemBarTintManager = new         SystemBarTintManager(this);
            systemBarTintManager.setStatusBarTintEnabled(true);
            systemBarTintManager.setStatusBarTintColor(Color.parseColor("#689F38"));

    }
