if you are trying it for Android 4.1 or above, then the permission to write directly to the content provider is now protected with "signed" meaning you would have to sign your app with the same key used to sign the bluetooth app.

Source this answer on almost similar question Android bluetooth print stopped working on 4.1 . See link for solution.
