Add this in your OnCreate Method in Xamarin.Android project before calling this method LoadApplication(new App()) :

private void TransparentStatusBar()
        {
            if (Build.VERSION.SdkInt >= BuildVersionCodes.Kitkat)
            {
                // for covering the full screen in android..
                Window.SetFlags(WindowManagerFlags.LayoutNoLimits, WindowManagerFlags.LayoutNoLimits);

                // clear FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS flag:
                Window.ClearFlags(WindowManagerFlags.TranslucentStatus);

                Window.SetStatusBarColor(Android.Graphics.Color.Transparent);

            }

        }

    ```

Add this in your OnCreate in Xamarin.Android project:

Window.SetFlags(WindowManagerFlags.LayoutNoLimits, WindowManagerFlags.LayoutNoLimits);

And add this into your styles.xml in Xamarin.Android project:

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

This is easy to achieve, go to your android project, access your styles and add this to your custom style :

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