I'm trying to get a list of valid Android permissions. I know the 'official' ones at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html but it seems there are more out there.

For example

android.permission.READ_SETTINGS
android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION
android.permission.ACCESS_GPS

com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE

com.android.browser.permission.READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS
com.android.browser.permission.WRITE_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS

com.google.android.googleapps.permission.GOOGLE_AUTH
com.google.android.googleapps.permission.GOOGLE_AUTH.OTHER_SERVICES

com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE

Where can I get such a list? Where do I get a description for these permissions?
