As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.

Allows an application to record audio.

Allows an app to use fingerprint hardware.

Allows access to the vibrator.

Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
