            ApplicationPermissionsManager apm = ApplicationPermissionsManager
                    .getInstance();
            ApplicationPermissions original = apm.getApplicationPermissions();

            // Set up and attach a reason provider
            apm.addReasonProvider(

                // values since that provides little value for the application
                // or the user.

Answer 1

You can't, apm.invokePermissionsRequest() always shows the default dialog box.

A ReasonProvider only provides the description string that is displayed if the permission is set to PROMPT and the user has to confirm it.

Answer 2

Did you try like this:

int k=Dialog.ask(Dialog.D_OK_CANCEL, "Can I provide all Permission?");
if(k==Dialog.D_OK)
{
    //Provide Permission;
}
