Description
Not so much a request for icons, but rather for spec clarification. Maybe that's not even the right place to complain.
The [spec](http://www.google.com/design/spec/style/icons.html#icons-system-icons) describes system icons as 24dp wide with 2dp trim area. However the icons in status bar are obviously smaller (presumably 16dp wide), and under closer examination look like down-scaled 24dp counterparts. The spec says nothing on that, and even if it did, currently Notifications API has only one method, `setSmallIcon()`, to set the icon both for the 24dp [notification icon](http://developer.android.com/images/android-5.0/notifications/basic_combo.png) and the status bar. Moreover, the battery / cell network icons also look like that:

I wonder if there's any way to get action bar icons pixel-perfect without affecting notifications. On xxhdpi displays this kind of downscaling is not much of a problem, but on mdpi/hdpi there will probably be noticeable artifacts. Again, maybe it's just my nitpicking.
