Answer 1

Guys I tried everything and I wasn't able to start the hotspot in Android 6.0. You can just check if Api is >= 23, and if so just take the user to settings page to create hotspot by himself.

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
    final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);
    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
    final ComponentName cn = new ComponentName(
                   "com.android.settings",
                   "com.android.settings.TetherSettings");
    intent.setComponent(cn);
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    startActivity( intent);
}else{
   createhotSpot();
}
