How to limit the internet speed of a network in android device

Question

I am searching for an API which could limit the internet download speed by lowering the bandwidth of the connection. Is it possible to do this without root privileges android?

@Satyavrat Thanks but I need to work with network's bandwidth. Something like an app in play store, by name "Brandy bound". but without "su" commands. Is there any API from google or any other source[except for rooting]? — , Jun 22 '17 at 11:26

you can get limitBytes and warningBytes by the following code, if you can use android.permission.MANAGE_NETWORK_POLICY and android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE. However, the protection level of android.permission.MANAGE_NETWORK_POLICY is signature.

NetworkPolicyManager manager = (NetworkPolicyManager) getSystemService("netpolicy");
NetworkPolicy[] networkPolicies = manager.getNetworkPolicies();
Log.d("NetworkPolicy", "limitBytes is " + networkPolicies[0].limitBytes);
Log.d("NetworkPolicy", "warningBytes is " + networkPolicies[0].warningBytes);

(NetworkPolicyManager and NetworkPolicy classes are hidden classes)
