Have you give the permission for front camera:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.camera"
        android:required="false" />
<uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.camera.front"
        android:required="false" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />
