i got it using this code

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this,R.style.Theme_AppCompat_Light_Dialog_Alert);
    builder.setTitle("Message");
    builder.setIcon(R.mipmap.ic_appicon);
    builder.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

        }
    });
    builder.setMessage(status);//TODO put real question
    builder.setOnDismissListener(new DialogInterface.OnDismissListener() {
        @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
        @Override
        public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialog) {

        }
    });
    builder.show();

previously i was using only "AlertDialog" then i changed to "AlertDialog.Builder" and changed code as above — AKSHAY MANAGOOLI, May 23 '17 at 13:51

When using Alertdialog.builder - Its not giving getwindow() option in it. So we can make it work like this:

AlertDialog dialog = builderScan.create();
            dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT));
            dialog.show();

And your Background of AlertDialog will be transperent.
