Recently Google auto merge permission from Google Service to final release apk. Some one ask here Why are permissions being automatically added to my AndroidManifest when including Google Play Services library
My problem is some permission don't need and I don't want some sensitive permission in my app. So how to remove permission like android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION ? With gradle build, I don't want to disable Manifest Merger. I read some where that can config Merger to remove permission from external lib, but I can't find how to do it.

The simple way to remove this type of permission, is by deleting its xml code line from the original Android Manifest file in android/app/src/main .
The Android manifest file helps to declare the permissions that an app must have to access data from other apps. The Android manifest file also specifies the app's package name that helps the Android SDK while building the app.
Add attribute tools:node with a value of remove to your manifest:
<manifest ... xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"> ... <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" tools:node="remove" /> ... </manifest> See http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide/manifest-merger#TOC-tools:node-markers
Don't forget to add the tools namespace to the root element of your manifest.
