Look @Simon I'm trying to be polite, but my english is so bad. I'm gonna make a list of permissions in my web page. I want to classified them but I cant figure it out some question like this: the `ACCESS_SURFACE_FLINGER` belong to which group ? or where `AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS` should be? in account or in security — Pejman, Nov 03 '13 at 09:07

The classifications are referred to as "permission groups." You can find a list of the standard Android permission groups in the Manifest.permission documentation. Unfortunately, getting a complete list of groups and permission isn't very easy.

You can get a permission's permission group through a PermissionInfo object.

You can use something such as the following code to get a list of all permissions and their groups on your device:

public MyActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // ...

        List<PackageInfo> packages = getPackageManager().getInstalledPackages(PackageManager.GET_PERMISSIONS);
        for (PackageInfo packageInfo: packages) {
            for (PermissionInfo permission: packageInfo.permissions) {
                Log.d("Permission", "Permission: " + permission.name + "\t Group: " + permission.group);
            }
        }
    }
}

Google doesn't provide the mappings between permissions and permission-groups or permissions and protection-levels. You can extract them from the Android source code. Here is a project that recovers those mappings.

https://github.com/benjholla/AndroidPermissionAttributeMapper

Example output is provided for a recovered mappings of:

Permission Group->Permission

Protection Level->Permission
