My question is how to modify the height of status bar of android through an utility application which allows user to control the height of status bar.

I can provide privileged permissions to the app.
My restrictions are not to customize existing android os and above all no rooted device.

Although I can grant root permissions at run time to the application.

But still scratching my head how to achieve this.

The height of the staus bar is part of the resource file inside SystemUI.apk which by itself does not exposed any intent nor API. What you are looking for is only customisable if you modify the SystemUI code itself or in other words create your own ROM to expose it via API or Intent that can be called by normal app.
