Material Design Elevation - How to do it on a solid black background

If I want to incorporate Material Design's Elevation using shadows in black-background GUI, is it possible? I don't see much written about this in the Android website. Does black background totally kills the Elevation concept?

Material design isn't designed to have a completely black background as you won't have a a paper with the color #000000, so you won't get a very good result.

And with a black background you can't gat a even darker color for the Action Bar and the Notification Bar, as it is supposed in Material design.

If you want a dark Theme consider using a dark grey, for example #121212 like the example from the Material design spec.
