I believe that both applications will need to declare that they use
those permissions, in their <uses-permission /> part of the manifest.
My app declares its own permissions for read/write in the
ContentProvider and the permissions appear in three places: the
declaration of the permissions; the <uses-permission /> and in the
declaration of the ContentProvider, like so:
<permission
android:name="com.example.mypermission"
......
/>
...
<uses-permission
android:name="com.example.mypermission"
/>
...
<provider
.......
android:readPermission="com.example.mypermission"
android:writePermission="com.example.mypermission"
/>
I haven't tried using those permission from another application.
