Try with the following code

View titleView = getWindow().findViewById(android.R.id.titlebar);
    if (titleView != null) {
      ViewParent parent = titleView.getParent();
      if (parent != null && (parent instanceof View)) {
        View parentView = (View)parent;
        parentView.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
      }
    }

@Friz14 Where did you find it? I ran into [a similar problem](http://stackoverflow.com/q/11263829/869501) and I can't find that `android.R.id.titlebar`. Thanks +1. – ateiob Jun 29 '12 at 14:54

ActionBar bar = getActionBar(); bar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(getResources().getColor(R.color.material_blue_gray1)));

if your using android.support.v7.app.ActionBar then use getSupportActionBar() in the place of getActionBar – Shubham Jain Sep 02 '15 at 11:49
