Apps Change programmatically “Hide the status bar” setting in Accesibility on Settings App

[Sebastián Toro]

Hello guys,

I have not found this on Internet and thought that maybe someone here can give me a hand. I need to change programmatically the setting called "Hide the status bar" located in Accesibility inside the Android's Settings app on Android Marshmallow (6.0). Next you can see it:

I have searched in Android's source code, specifically in the android.provider.Settings class but have found nothing regarding it. I have also searched android.googlesource.com site via Google for the text "Hide the status bar" to see if maybe it was on some Strings file and see where it could be used.

Does someone know how to change this programmatically?

I cannot use that answer in my kiosk app because the core app is not an Adobe AIR app, therefore you do not have access to the onCreate method of it's activity. I would have to add ANR which is much more work in comparison to changing programatically the mentioned parameter.
