android enable 'settings' permissions

I'm writing some automation testing for my app, On my emulator is there a way to enable settings permissions (permissions that requires the user to go to device settings and enable them) like usage state, accessibility services, notifications from ADB? (like 'adb shell pm grant')

Using adb the closest you could get is opening the Application settings.

adb shell am start -a android.settings.APPLICATION_SETTINGS

Otherwise UIAutomator would be the way to automate this.

You don't have any APIs that can to that, but if you're using UIAutomator it is pretty easy to achieve. If you're using Espresso, you need to add UIAutomator (Espresso is for single app testing, while UiAutomator is cross-app testing) and this will give you the possibility to access the Settings app.
