When using the recent apps button in Android the action bar of my app does not retain its style like other apps do. The action bar color returns to the default gray and the text to the default black. Does anyone know how to control this behavior in an Android project?
Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

My question is, how can I change the default system notification bar colors?
like other customize OS theme apps do.
is there for example a systemColor.xml that we can change it using modify-system-setting-permission ?
Thanks in advance.
Note: I don't wanna change status bar only in my application , I wanna for example develop a theme editor for whole OS of phone.
I am currently building an app that uses the material design theme as a base theme.
However the action bar has a dark shadow below the action bar.
I have tried everything I can think of, but I can't seem to get rid of it.
Here is a screen shot showing what I mean:

If someone could tell me how I can get rid of it, I would much appreciate it.
Thanks

Shadow is created by using elevation, here's how you can disable it programmatically:
getActionBar().setElevation(0);
I am developing an application for two languages (english & arabic),
I noticed that the app icon disappears from action bar when changing the language to Arabic.
I found out the solution by trial and error, this was due redundant styles.xml that was included in both folders values/styles.xml & values-ar/styles.xml,
can anyone can explain why this happened?
Also another question:
I noticed that the icon app and app title are aligned to the left of the action bar, How can i change the alignment to be to the right, upon changing the language to Arabic?
Cant I do that by using certain Theme in case of Arabic
It's likely that you have linked the appearance of icon to translate some text and is giving you problems in the application. It happened something similar and was due to this.
Hope it helps.
Does anyone know if there is a way to add custom buttons to the Android System Bar in Android 3.0+ (Honeycomb/ICS)?
I would like to add an application-provided button to that menu, but I have not been able to locate any API functionality that will allow it. I know that this area is sort of unofficially "off limits" to normal, non-system-level applicaitions, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to do this anyway?
Note: I am speaking specifically about the "System" bar that shows up along the bottom of the screen and not the "Action" bar which each app can customize at the TOP of the screen.
Let me know if you have any thoughts on this, thanks!!!

Sorry, this is not supported. You can add a Notification that will appear on the right side of the system bar, but not with the rest of the system buttons on the left.
The iPhone gives the app the ability to change the notification bar's color so you can have it match your app's design without having to hide it completely.
Is there a way to change the notification bar color in Android?
I'm looking to have it force black with white text to be less visually present while using the app, but still there.
I don't want to hide it.
No, there is no way to change the look of the notification bar from your app. Your only option would be to make your app full screen, but there are several reasons not to do this.
