Android Lollipop Set Status Bar Text Color

You can not set the status bar text color by specifying any color explicitly

But you can try below alternative which is Added in API 23,

You can use “android:windowLightStatusBar” attribute in two ways

• “android:windowLightStatusBar” = true, status bar text color will be
  compatible (grey) when status bar color is light
• “android:windowLightStatusBar” = false, status bar text color will be
  compatible (white) when status bar color is dark

<style name="statusBarStyle" parent="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light">
        <item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/status_bar_color</item>
        <item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">false</item>
</style>
