		<p>The Material theme lets you easily customize the status bar, so you can specify a
		color which fits your brand and provides enough contrast to show the white status icons. To
		set a custom color for the status bar, use the <code>android:statusBarColor</code> attribute when
		you extend the Material theme.</p>

		<p>To handle the color of the status bar yourself (for example, by adding a gradient in the
		background), set the <code>android:statusBarColor</code> attribute to
		<code>@android:color/transparent</code>. You can also use the
		<code>Window.setStatusBarColor</code> method for animations or fading.</p>
