Disable/Enabling mobile data programmatically in Android

Question

I am trying to enable/disable mobile data.

First, is it possible to implement this?

I am gone through the below link

But I am not getting the right way to implement this.

Getting InvocationTargetException and not able to add MODIFY_PHONE_STATE also in android manifest file as it is a system-only permission.

And from forum I came to know that it was deprecated after Gingerbread.

How do I need to implement this?

did you added these permissions `uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"` — Shruti, Aug 20 '14 at 06:21
MODIFY_PHONE_STATE cannot be used by third party apps. Check this documentation.http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#MODIFY_PHONE_STATE — Shruti, Aug 20 '14 at 06:26
Users would not like this behavior and its not possible without user interaction. — Arash GM, Aug 20 '14 at 06:30

No, that's not possible to achieve by third-party apps. Enabling/disabling mobile data should be done through system Settings app UI.

What you can do is to provide an instruction to end user on how to enable/disable mobile data and direct them to Settings app.
