Description
When I have updated the ROM the mozilla backend lost permissions and I haven't noticed it.
I think that GmsCore should act as proxy and display notification about permissions missing from backends.
I think it probably need changing both GmsCore and backends.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how GmsCore and its backends currently request and report Android permissions, then check the notification and permission-handling entry points. Done means the proxy behavior is specified and implemented across GmsCore and the affected backends, with tests or a reproducible verification path for missing permissions.
