[Android]Show status bar and navigation bar programmatically while in Immersive sticky mode

I use the following code to enter Immersive sticky mode in Android. 

mDecorView.setSystemUiVisibility(
        View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
        | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
        | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION // hide nav bar
        | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN // hide status bar
        | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);

What I want is: I want the status bar and navigation bar to show when I touch the center part of my Activity instead of swiping from the edge. Is that possible?

If you don't want to write any additional code (just call some methods) then use SystemUIHelper from here: https://gist.github.com/chrisbanes/73de18faffca571f7292

and then something like this:

...

    SystemUiHelper uiHelper;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.[Your content view]);
        uiHelper = new SystemUiHelper(this, [Your flags/modes]);
      
        // Then set onTouchListener on youк root view
        // and when someone touch it you will receive an event about it 
        // and will be able to manage it and hide/show app's UI again
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        switch (event.getAction()){
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                if (uiHelper.isShowing()){
                    uiHelper.hide();
                }else{
                    uiHelper.show();
                }
                break;
        }
      
        return super.onTouchEvent(event);
    }
