It depends if you are asking to control this in an app you are writing yourself or in a 3rd party app on your device

For 3rd party apps: Android 4.3 had a permission manager that allowed adjusting permissions individually for installed apps. This feature was pulled (Google said it was released by mistake) from Android 4.4 and it no longer available. A similar feature might be available on vendor-specific/un-official ROMs.

For apps you write yourself: You need to add proper permissions (android:name="android.permission.INTERNET) to access network. Without it the app will not be able to make any network traffic.
