Android: status bar not theme on transitiong to new activity

Question

I have create a simple app with 2 activities. Main (launcher) activity is themed properly where colorPrimaryDark is applied to status bar. But when I transition to new activity, everything seems normal except status bar. It somehow colored white. Any idea why this could be happening?

Running this on OnePlus One (Lollipop 5.0.2)
