Solved it: Here is what I have done...

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

    mLogin = (Button) findViewById(R.id.logIn);
    mLogin.setOnClickListener(this);

}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {

    Session currentSession = Session.getActiveSession();
    if (currentSession == null || currentSession.getState().isClosed()) {
        Session session = new Session.Builder(context).build();
        Session.setActiveSession(session);
        currentSession = session;
    }

    if (currentSession.isOpened()) {
        // Do whatever u want. User has logged in

    } else if (!currentSession.isOpened()) {
        // Ask for username and password
        OpenRequest op = new Session.OpenRequest((Activity) context);

        op.setLoginBehavior(SessionLoginBehavior.SUPPRESS_SSO);
        op.setCallback(null);

        List<String> permissions = new ArrayList<String>();
        permissions.add("publish_stream");
        permissions.add("user_likes");
        permissions.add("email");
        permissions.add("user_birthday");
        op.setPermissions(permissions);

        Session session = new Builder(MainActivity.this).build();
        Session.setActiveSession(session);
        session.openForPublish(op);
    }
}

public void call(Session session, SessionState state, Exception exception) {
}

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (Session.getActiveSession() != null)
        Session.getActiveSession().onActivityResult(this, requestCode,
                resultCode, data);

    Session currentSession = Session.getActiveSession();
    if (currentSession == null || currentSession.getState().isClosed()) {
        Session session = new Session.Builder(context).build();
        Session.setActiveSession(session);
        currentSession = session;
    }

    if (currentSession.isOpened()) {
        Session.openActiveSession(this, true, new Session.StatusCallback() {

            @Override
            public void call(final Session session, SessionState state,
                    Exception exception) {

                if (session.isOpened()) {

                    Request.executeMeRequestAsync(session,
                            new Request.GraphUserCallback() {

                                @Override
                                public void onCompleted(GraphUser user,
                                        Response response) {
                                    if (user != null) {

                                        TextView welcome = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.welcome);
                                        welcome.setText("Hello "
                                                + user.getName() + "!");

                                        access_token = session
                                                .getAccessToken();
                                        firstName = user.getFirstName();
                                        fb_user_id = user.getId();

                                        System.out
                                                .println("Facebook Access token: "
                                                        + access_token);
                                        System.out.println("First Name:"
                                                + firstName);
                                        System.out.println("FB USER ID: "
                                                + fb_user_id);

                                    }
                                }
                            });
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

Now I'm able to get email permission with rest of the publish permission.

Marking this as accepted answer so that it can help others.

TL; DR: use something like this to get the email:

String email = (String) user.getProperty("email");

I have one comment about your code. Since "email" is a read permission, you don't need to create a separate permission request to get it. You can do something like this (code untested, so there might be slight errors):

Session s = new Session(this);
Session.setActiveSession(s);
Session.OpenRequest request = new Session.OpenRequest(this);
request.setPermissions(Arrays.asList("basic_info","email"));
request.setCallback( /* your callback here */ );
s.openForRead(request);

and you can get rid of the new permission request in your callback.
