Remarks
Checks if the specified app can modify system settings. As of API level 23, an app cannot modify system settings unless it declares the android.Manifest.permission#WRITE_SETTINGS permission in its manifest, <em>and</em> the user specifically grants the app this capability. To prompt the user to grant this approval, the app must send an intent with the action android.provider.Settings#ACTION_MANAGE_WRITE_SETTINGS, which causes the system to display a permission management screen.
