Yes,android only supports black or white icons & text.

We can change the statusBarColor of status bar by property android:statusBarColor in file styles.xml:

 <item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/colorgreen</item>

And when we change the value of property android:windowLightStatusBar to true,the color of icons & text will be grayed out.

<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>

When using the following code:

<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
    <!-- other code -->
  <item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/colorgreen</item>
  <item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>
</style>

The result is:
