Is there any option to check the status of accessibility permission in Android (granted to the app or not)

Question

Is there any option to check the status of accessibility permission in Android, whether it is granted to the app or not?

I tried both (from this post)

private boolean checkWriteExternalPermission()
{
    String permission =  Manifest.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE;
    int res = getContext().checkCallingOrSelfPermission(permission);
    return (res == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);            
}

and

PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
int hasPerm = pm.checkPermission(
    android.Manifest.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE, 
    context.getPackageName());
if (hasPerm != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
   // do stuff
}

but in both cases, the result is negative irrespective of permission status. Even if the service is using the permission, the result is -1.

Thanks to Duna and Abdu for the answers they dropped on the comments as the question was closed once.

from the comment posted by Abdu

public static boolean isAccessibilityEnabled(Context context, String id) { 
    AccessibilityManager am = (AccessibilityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE);    
    List<AccessibilityServiceInfo> runningServices = am.getEnabledAccessibilityServiceList(AccessibilityEvent.TYPES_ALL_MASK); for         

    (AccessibilityServiceInfo service : runningServices) { 
        if(id.equals(service.getId())) { 
            return true; 
        } 
    } 
        return false; 
    }

public static boolean isAccessibilitySettingsOn(Context mContext) {
int accessibilityEnabled = 0;

    String settingValue = Settings.Secure.getString(
            mContext.getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(),

    if (settingValue != null) {
        TextUtils.SimpleStringSplitter splitter = mStringColonSplitter;
        splitter.setString(settingValue);
        while (splitter.hasNext()) {
            String accessabilityService = splitter.next();

            Log.v(TAG, "-------------- > accessabilityService :: " + accessabilityService);
            if (accessabilityService.equalsIgnoreCase(service)) {
                Log.v(TAG, "We've found the correct setting - accessibility is switched on!");
                return true;
            }
