You can change your statusBarColor by typing below attribute in your style.xml you need to input this code in your base theme.

<item name="android:statusBarColor">COLOR THAT YOU WANT TO CHANGE</item>

The color of the status bar can be changed by :

<item name="colorPrimaryDark">your_required_color</item>

From API 21, to change color of status bar without using "colorPrimaryDark" use:

<item name="android:statusBarColor">your_required_color</item>

Since Lollipop. Starting with Android 5.0, the guidelines say:

Notification icons must be entirely white.

Even if they're not, the system will only consider the alpha channel of your icon, rendering them white

Refer this : Android statusbar icons color

But from API 23, to change system status icons to semitransparent black you can use :

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