   It was interesting to see in that article that Jeff recommended that these   
   permissions are not possible for the user to revoke from the app!   
      
   android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS   
   android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE   
   android.permission.ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY   
   android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE   
   android.permission.ACCESS_WIMAX_STATE   
   android.permission.BLUETOOTH   
   android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN   
   android.permission.BROADCAST_STICKY   
   android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE   
   android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE   
   android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE   
   android.permission.CHANGE_WIMAX_STATE   
   android.permission.DISABLE_KEYGUARD   
   android.permission.EXPAND_STATUS_BAR   
   android.permission.FLASHLIGHT   
   android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS   
   android.permission.GET_PACKAGE_SIZE   
   android.permission.INTERNET   
   android.permission.KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES   
   android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS   
   android.permission.NFC   
   android.permission.READ_SYNC_SETTINGS   
   android.permission.READ_SYNC_STATS   
   android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED   
   android.permission.REORDER_TASKS   
   android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES   
   android.permission.SET_TIME_ZONE   
   android.permission.SET_WALLPAPER   
   android.permission.SET_WALLPAPER_HINTS   
   android.permission.SUBSCRIBED_FEEDS_READ   
   android.permission.TRANSMIT_IR   
   android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT   
   android.permission.VIBRATE   
   android.permission.WAKE_LOCK   
   android.permission.WRITE_SYNC_SETTINGS   
   com.android.alarm.permission.SET_ALARM   
   com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT   
   com.android.launcher.permission.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT   
      
   More interesting, perhaps, are these location permissions:   
   https://inthecheesefactory.com/uploads/source/blog/mpermission/permgroup.png   
      
   Where it seems that there are two location permissions, as we might   
   imagine:   
   android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION   
   android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION   
      
   Unfortunately, the caption of that screenshot says that if either one is   
   granted, the other is also granted, automatically!   
      "If any permission in a Permission Group is granted. \   
       Another permission in the same group will be automatically \   
       granted as well."
