Does Android allow revoking permissions?

I saw applications for rooted devices allowing to revoke specific permissions given to app. Does non-root Android device allow this with some code?

UPDATE: Having keyboard app with permissions FINE LOCATION and internet - it is weird to allow such permissions. They are not necessary to allow me to type. I can imagine only one reason - to collect my login info.

Android M preview enables you to manage some permissions (like location) at runtime: https://developer.android.com/preview/features/runtime-permissions.html

With a rooted device, you can disable some app permissions on older Android versions, for that you can for example use the Xposed framework.

This is not presently possible by any supported means. Android presently does not allow the user to revoke permissions, let alone allow random other apps to revoke permissions.

Agreed. Do not install that app.
