java.lang.SecurityException: Missing permission to control media - mediaSessionManager.getActiveSessions

Question

I need to list the active audio sessions. I am using the next code:

MediaSessionManager mediaSessionManager = (MediaSessionManager) 
    getSystemService(Context.MEDIA_SESSION_SERVICE);

ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(this, 
    NotificationListenerExampleService.class);

List<MediaController> controllers = 
    mediaSessionManager.getActiveSessions(componentName);

Error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.bassbooster/com.example.bassbooster.MainActivity}: java.lang.SecurityException: Missing permission to control media.

The permission "android.Manifest.permission.MEDIA_CONTENT_CONTROL", is only for system apps.

How can i list the active audio sessions?

Thanks for reading.

If you not ask that permission at runtime, so add permission at runtime. Runtime permission require only for marshmellow or above. You must have to ask runtime permissions in or above marshmellow
