I am new in Android developer community. I just want to ask if there is a way to turn ON or OFF the internet connectivity of android device through app. Is there any permission for that so that app can disconnect the device from internet? Any suggestion will be helpful.

No, you cannot do that (except with a rooted device, of course). You could use a variant of [this sample code](https://stackoverflow.com/a/2818173/1270789) to give the user options to turn it on and off. – Ken Y-N Jul 18 '17 at 06:19

add your manifest this permissions
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.UPDATE_DEVICE_STATS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
then you can enable or disable your wifi
WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wifi.setWifiEnabled(true);
or
wifi.setWifiEnabled(false);

IMO this will provide the option of enabling Internet over WiFi. But it doesn't cover enable/disable internet over Mobile Data. – PasinduJay Jul 18 '17 at 06:31
