FIX!

None of the above helped me. It is really a camera disposition, even if hard to notice. Try: Set your Scene-View to 3D and check the position of the camera. In 2D it is highly possible that the camera is fixed to the bottom left of your screen.

What i did: Set x and y position of camera AND particle system to 0. Then set particle z-position to 300 and camera to -50. It was visible then.

Check out this plugin. It exposes the sorting layer properties on the Shuriken particle system.

...well, in the event that he decides to try selling it instead, just use this as opposed to wasting money to perform simple tasks:

 // Set the sorting layer of the particle system.
 particleSystem.renderer.sortingLayerName = "foreground";
 particleSystem.renderer.sortingOrder = 2;

I found a solution that worked for me. When working with sprites, I opened Sorting layers options and saw that there are 7 builtin sorting layers:

0 is default 1 is transparent FX

Particles are transparent FX. And all the sprites that you want your particles to be in front of must be at sorting layers lower than 1. Fortunately, negative values are possible so I've put my sprites to -1, -2 etc. It worked right away.

@sdgd thanks for your replay . I am sure that my camera is positioned properly . For now I write a script that get particles of Shuriken particle system using particleSystem.GetPartcle() then I iterate through each particle and position an spriteRenderer that was instantiated at start up of the game to that particle and it worked.

This is not a real answer, why did you mark it as solved? The problem hasn't been solved.
