Most of the permissions that you requested you cannot hold, unless you are signed by the same signing key that signed the firmware. Some you might be able to hold if you are installed as part of the firmware, even though you are signed by a different key.

dumpsys is designed to be run by a developer, from a development machine, via adb shell. It is not designed to be run by an app on a device. My understanding is that you would need the DUMP permission, which can only be held if you are either signed by the firmware's signing key or are installed on the firmware's partition. Normal SDK apps are neither.

thanks for the reply sir....is there anything that i can done at application level to run the dumpsys command as i need it to run for my project – chiv Aug 24 '12 at 14:38
@chiv: "is there anything that i can done at application level to run the dumpsys command" -- no, only via a ROM mod or rooting your device. – CommonsWare Aug 24 '12 at 14:57
@CommomnsWare: Sir then can u suggest anyway how to find out which application(name) is using microphone.... – chiv Aug 24 '12 at 15:01
@chiv: As [I commented previously](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12109401/is-there-any-provision-in-android-to-know-which-user-application-is-using-which#comment16187387_12109563), I am not aware of any means for an SDK app to find out if another SDK app is or is not presently using the microphone. – CommonsWare Aug 24 '12 at 15:06
@CommomnsWare:ok sir....can u give any info where can i get help related to this? – chiv Aug 24 '12 at 15:10
