Use this:

public static String getListOfPermissions(final Context context)
{
    String _permissions = "";

    try
    {
        final AssetManager _am = context.createPackageContext(context.getPackageName(), 0).getAssets();
        final XmlResourceParser _xmlParser = _am.openXmlResourceParser(0, "AndroidManifest.xml");
        int _eventType = _xmlParser.getEventType();
        while (_eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT)
        {
            if ((_eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG) && "uses-permission".equals(_xmlParser.getName()))
            {
                for (byte i = 0; i < _xmlParser.getAttributeCount(); i ++)
                {
                    if (_xmlParser.getAttributeName(i).equals("name"))
                    {
                        _permissions += _xmlParser.getAttributeValue(i) + "\n";
                    }
                }
            }
            _eventType = _xmlParser.nextToken();
        }
        _xmlParser.close(); // Pervents memory leak.
    }
    catch (final XmlPullParserException exception)
    {
        exception.printStackTrace();
    }
    catch (final PackageManager.NameNotFoundException exception)
    {
        exception.printStackTrace();
    }
    catch (final IOException exception)
    {
        exception.printStackTrace();
    }

    return _permissions;
}
// Test: Log.wtf("test", getListOfPermissions(getApplicationContext()));
