Call context.checkCallingPermission(permission)

permission -- The name of the permission being checked, as a String

Returns PERMISSION_GRANTED if you have the permission, or PERMISSION_DENIED if not.

See checkCallingPermission

As noted in the docs and the comments, there are some subtleties here.

You can use checkCallingPermission() to check weather the runningtime permission is denied by users or some apps.

Right now, android asks for the user to accept all the permissions an app asks for in the manifest on installation. In the upcoming M release, android will switch over to the iOS style of permissions with an "on needed" basis. (For certain permissions. See @Commonsware's comment for more details) Meaning whenever the user tries to use a feature that requires permission it will ask them to accept or deny. If they hit deny I imagine there will be an sdk positive and negative response button interface to implement.

As for right now in your dilemma, if the user rejects permissions they won't be able to use your app period.
