Why don't you set your Splash Screen to a FullScreen Activity? — Aawaz Gyawali, Mar 19 '16 at 06:01

You can set the status bar color by defining the colorPrimaryDark item:

<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#1c465d</item>

As stated above, set the colorPrimaryDark attribute in your style to whatever you like.

<resources>
  <!-- inherit from the material theme -->
  <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material">
    <!-- Main theme colors -->
    <!--   your app branding color for the app bar -->
    <item name="android:colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
    <!--   darker variant for the status bar and contextual app bars -->
    <item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>
    <!--   theme UI controls like checkboxes and text fields -->
    <item name="android:colorAccent">@color/accent</item>
  </style>
</resources>

To do it correctly you should declare your color value in the color.xml, then reference it from the style.

go to ~values/color.xml and replace colorPrimaryDark

<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#1c465d</item>

This way you can set status bar color programatically

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);         getWindow().setStatusBarColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.primary_dark));
}
