Are App Permissions confined to specific Activities?

In the main Activity, I asked the User for permissions for using Camera. However, I wanted to use the Camera in another activity let's SecondaryActivity I asked for permissions like this in one activity :-

if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) 
      != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
          ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS_REQUIRED, 1);
}

and checking in other activity just before starting the service.

if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(SecondaryActivity.this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
                == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { // Do Something }

Since, both this here are different, will I have to request permissions for different activities differently or not ?

Permissions are granted or revoked for the whole application, not a specific activity.

However, it is still best practice to always check if you have a permission, right before you need it. Users can grant and revoke permissions at runtime. Allthough revoking a permission will lead to a restart of your activity.
