       url,
       target_directory + filename, 
       function(entry) {

If the target directory that you are trying to save to is your own app specific directory you should be able to save data to it without requiring any explicit WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

From Lollipop, if you are trying to store data in SD Card in folders other than the one owned by your app, you need users to specify that permissions for your app through Storage Access Framework.
