Android Customize ActionBar Color?

What i want? I want to make the ActionBar color customizable, users can select a color from a list of colors and the ActionBar color will be changed to their selected color.

What i have done? I have a class named SettingsActivity in which i take color choice from user. The color they select is stored in SharedPreferences. The color user selected is getting stored in SharedPreferences and then i restart the application through an intent the color change take place. Everything is working as it should.

But there is a problem whenever i start the application for a small interval of time the app shows the default color that i have at styles.xml in values v-14 folder and then the color changes to user selected color. How can i eliminate this bug?

I'm also attaching the code of styles.xml. If any other detail or code is required then do let me know i will provide that as well and I am using Navigation Drawer Fragments.

<resources>

<!--
    Base application theme for API 14+. This theme completely replaces
    AppBaseTheme from BOTH res/values/styles.xml and
    res/values-v11/styles.xml on API 14+ devices.

<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
     API 14 theme customizations can go here. 
</style>
 -->
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- API 14 theme customizations can go here. -->
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
 <style name="MyActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
      <item name="android:background">#f39c12</item> 
   </style>
 </resources>

Use this for change action bar color:_

ActionBar bar = getActionBar();
bar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable("COLOR"));

OR use this one

    ColorDrawable colorDrawable = new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#ffFEBB31"));
actionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(colorDrawable);

Thanks
