I've faced the same problem on a project which use TabHost. Basis on @Robin solution, I use the EventBus library for send a message from child activity to the TabActity.

EventBus : https://github.com/greenrobot/EventBus

Create an event object :

public class MessageEvent {
    private String message;
    public MessageEvent(String message){
        this.message = message;
    }

    public String getMessage(){
        return this.message;
    }
}

In your main Activity :

private EventBus eventBus = EventBus.getDefault();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    eventBus.register(this);
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    eventBus.unregister(this);
    super.onDestroy();
}
@Subscribe(threadMode = ThreadMode.MAIN)
public void onMessageEvent(MessageEvent event) {
    if (event.getMessage().equals("contacts")){
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainPage.this,new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS}, 100 );
        }
    }
};

Set a different message for the permission your want to request. In your child activity you can than post the adequate message :

EventBus.getDefault().post(new MessageEvent("contacts"));

Be aware of onRequestPermissionsResult callback and the request code ;)! It will only work in the main activity.
