There is a work-around to get the Mac address in Android 6.0.

First you need to add Internet user permission.

Then you can find the mac over the NetworkInterfaces API.

public static String getMacAddr() {
  try {
      List<NetworkInterface> all = Collections.list(NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces());
      for (NetworkInterface nif : all) {
          if (!nif.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("wlan0")) continue;

          byte[] macBytes = nif.getHardwareAddress();
          if (macBytes == null) {
              return "";
          }

          StringBuilder res1 = new StringBuilder();
          for (byte b : macBytes) {
              res1.append(String.format("%02X:",b));
          }

          if (res1.length() > 0) {
              res1.deleteCharAt(res1.length() - 1);
          }
          return res1.toString();
      }
  } catch (Exception ex) {
  }
  return "02:00:00:00:00:00";
}
