    public static void changeStatusBarColor(boolean status,Activity activity){
        Window window = activity.getWindow();
        if(status){


// clear FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS flag:
            window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);

// add FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS flag to the window
            window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);

// finally change the color
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
                window.setStatusBarColor(activity.getResources().getColor(R.color.theme_red));
            }

        }
        else{
            window.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);

see, on some condition like lets say on monday and tuesday i want to change the color of status bar to red, and on wednesday i want to reset to how it was previously without red color. How will i do that? I did it by re-setting the flag, but in devices below lollipop, its affecting the Title bar . — Sauda Sadaf, Mar 24 '16 at 16:10
By "show what you have tried" I meant to provide some code samples. This will help experts from the field point you to errors if any. Right now, they will have to guess what you are doing! — dubes, Mar 24 '16 at 16:34
Use AppCompat Library if you want your code to work same on all devices. — Sumanth Jois, Mar 26 '16 at 04:13

private static int defaultStatusBarColor;

public static void changeStatusBarColor(Activity context, boolean change, int color){
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21)
    {
        Window window = context.getWindow();
        window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
        window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);

        if(change){
            defaultStatusBarColor = window.getStatusBarColor();
            window.setStatusBarColor(color);
        }
        else{
            // reset
            window.setStatusBarColor(defaultStatusBarColor);
        }
    }
}
