From the top search result in Google:

Because an interface is a "contract" or an agreement between the consumer (caller) and the provider (callee). An interface describes what and how the calle will provide functionality. There is no need for static members provided by a third party. Static members cannot be overridden by a provider so they do not belong in an interface.
