Permission Denial: writing com.sec.android.provider.badge.BadgeProvider

Question

I am recently getting a crash while run my app in Samsung phone with android Nougat. I didn't give the run time permission for com.sec.android.provider.badge.BadgeProvider and that makes the crash. I don't know how to give runtime permission for this Badge provider, if anyone know please help me.

The crash report gives below

java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing com.sec.android.provider.badge.BadgeProvider uri content://com.sec.badge/apps from pid=5325, uid=10242 requires com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE, or grantUriPermission() at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1693) at android.database.DatabaseUtils.readExceptionFromParcel(DatabaseUtils.java:183) at android.database.DatabaseUtils.readExceptionFromParcel(DatabaseUtils.java:135) at android.content.ContentProviderProxy.delete(ContentProviderNative.java:544)

This is the template I used to request multiple permissions on runtime. You need to modify by your own according to your needs

You also need to include <uses-permission android:name="com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE"/> and <uses-permission android:name="com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE"/> in your manifest.

private static final int PLAY_SERVICES_RESOLUTION_REQUEST = 9000;

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash_screen);

}
