How to set status bar color when AppBar not present.

I have tried this but not working.

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    SystemChrome.setSys

If you take a look at the source code of AppBar, you can see they use an AnnotatedRegion widget. AnnotedRegion widget gives you more control on System overlay style. This is a more fluttery way to configure the system styles when an app bar is not used.

From my understanding, this widget automatically sets the statusbar/navigationbar color when the widget wrapped in it gets overlaid by the statusbar/navigationbar.

You can wrap your widget like this:

import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

...    

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
   return Scaffold(
      body: AnnotatedRegion(
         value: SystemUiOverlayStyle.light,                
         child: ...,
      ),
   );
}
