The code I was testing is similar to yours. I have tested it on Samsung A5 and LG Nexus 5X.

MainActivity.java

import android.Manifest;
import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.app.WallpaperManager;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.ParcelFileDescriptor;
import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;
import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.widget.ImageView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    public static final int REQUEST_CODE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE = 5;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        String permission = Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE;
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
            permission = Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE;
        }

        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, permission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{permission}, REQUEST_CODE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
        } else {
            retrieveLockScreenWallpaper();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
        switch (requestCode) {
            case REQUEST_CODE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: {
                if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    retrieveLockScreenWallpaper();
                }
            }
        }
    }

    @SuppressLint("MissingPermission")
    private void retrieveLockScreenWallpaper() {
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
            WallpaperManager manager = WallpaperManager.getInstance(getApplicationContext());
            ParcelFileDescriptor descriptor = manager.getWallpaperFile(WallpaperManager.FLAG_LOCK);
            if (descriptor != null) {
                Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFileDescriptor(descriptor.getFileDescriptor());
                ((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView)).setImageBitmap(bitmap);
            }
        }
    }

}

manifest.xml

.
