Hello, I am havin issues trying to add StatusBarColor to my Android Project, but initially I am XF.Material Library but totally confused on how to implement StatusBarColor on it, I am using Android 5.1 Physical Device to test my App.

You could define MaterialNavigationPage.StatusBarColor insdie ContenPage .

    <ContentPage .... xmlns:material="clr-namespace:XF.Material.Forms.UI;assembly=XF.Material"
               material:MaterialNavigationPage.StatusBarColor="#1B3147" ></ ContentPage>

I just struggled with this myself and finally got it working.
In my Android project I have:

using Android.OS;
using BeerPlease.App.Droid;
using BeerPlease.App.Forms;
using Plugin.CurrentActivity;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android;

[assembly: Dependency(typeof(StatusBarRenderer))]
namespace BeerPlease.App.Droid
{
    public class StatusBarRenderer : IStatusBarPlatformSpecific
    {
        public StatusBarRenderer()
        {
        }

        public void SetStatusBarColor(Color color)
        {
            if(Build.VERSION.SdkInt >= BuildVersionCodes.Lollipop) {
                var androidColor = color.AddLuminosity(-0.1).ToAndroid();
                var window = CrossCurrentActivity.Current.Activity.Window;
                window.SetStatusBarColor(androidColor);
                // See https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR
                window.DecorView.SystemUiVisibility = color.Luminosity > 0.5
                    ? (Android.Views.StatusBarVisibility)8192
                    : Android.Views.StatusBarVisibility.Visible;
            }
        }
    }
}

This uses the CurrentActivity plugin, which makes it easy to get the current activity in Android from anywhere.

Then in your XF project add something like this:

using Xamarin.Forms;

namespace BeerPlease.App.Forms
{
    public interface IStatusBarPlatformSpecific
    {
        void SetStatusBarColor(Color color);
    }
}

Finally, also in your XF project add something like this to your main App class, the one that extends Xamarin.Forms.Application:

                if(CurrentApp.Resources.TryGetValue("ColorPageBackground", out var color)) {
                    var statusbar = DependencyService.Get<IStatusBarPlatformSpecific>();
                    statusbar?.SetStatusBarColor((Color)color);
                }

In my case I'm getting the color from my Resources, but obviously you could just hard code it too.
