Remove Permissions at runtime

Question

I am trying to make a form where people can toggle notifications on and off. I figured the easiest way to do that would be set the permissions to allow or deny but I can't figure out how to remove the permission once it has been granted.

I am triggering the initial permission request by doing the following in android and not too sure what I will do with iOS as it requests the permissions somewhat automatically.

string rec = "android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE";
string reg = "android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION";  
ActivityCompat.RequestPermissions(Plugin.CurrentActivity.CrossCurrentActivity.Current.Activity, new string[] { rec, reg },0);

I essentially would like a page that has a few Switch controls to enable/disable permissions.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

The easiest way to not notify them would be to just not trigger the notification. — TheWanderer, Jan 28 '19 at 22:56
You can use a Switch controls to record the Switch state and then send or not send notifications based on that state — Leo Zhu, Jan 29 '19 at 01:07

There's no built in method for you to toggle a permission (ie, allow, then disallow), but you could do it if your app can run an adb command.

To undo a permission:

adb shell pm revoke <package_name> <permission_name>

To run an adb command within your app, a couple of variations, but all involve:

Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("your command")
