Crash on Android 6+

You need to request the permission at runtime on android 6+

public void checkDrawOverlayPermission() {
    if (!Settings.canDrawOverlays(Context)) {
        final Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION,
                Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
        startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);
    }
}

@Override 
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,  Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE) {
       if (Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
           // continue here - permission was granted 
       }
    }
}

@premnirmal I do the same still getting this error

  if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && !Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {

        //If the draw over permission is not available open the settings screen to grant the permission.
        Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION,
                Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
        startActivityForResult(intent, DRAW_OVER_OTHER_APP_PERMISSION);
    } else {
        startFloatingOverLayService();
    }

 private void startFloatingOverLayService() {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            if (!isMyFloatingServiceRunning()) {

                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
                    startForegroundService(new Intent(mActivity, FloatingOverlayViewService.class));
                else
                    startService(new Intent(mActivity, FloatingOverlayViewService.class));

            } else if (FloatingOverlayViewService.getInstance() != null) {
                    //do stuff....
            }
        }
    }

is there any other issue with this?
