scenario 4 = deny permission1 deny permission2
Solution

  • I found the solution for android using adb shell command. 

     String packageName= ((AndroidDriver) driver).getCurrentPackage();
 String grantCameraPermission= "adb shell pm grant " + packageName +" android.permission.CAMERA";
 String grantLocationPermission= "adb shell pm grant " + packageName +" android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION";
 String revokeCameraPermission= "adb shell pm revoke " + packageName +" android.permission.CAMERA";
 String revokeLocationPermission= "adb shell pm revoke " + packageName +" android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION";
        try {
            Runtime.getRuntime().exec(grantCameraPermission);
            Runtime.getRuntime().exec(revokeLocationPermission);

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    Here is the list of the Android Permission
