You should check your sources again - that statement is false.... You only have to look at the release notes from the dev preview on Android P today to see that was possible for any background app to access the camera and microphone at any time:

> Android P strengthens privacy by limiting the ability of background apps to access user input and sensor data. If your app is running in the background on a device running Android P, the system applies the following restrictions to your app: Your app cannot access the microphone or camera.
- foobaw 9y agoIt says that apps in the "background" cannot access user input and sensor data. This means that even if the app gains permission in the foreground, it won't have access when the app is running in the background. Note that this use case was extremely rare anyway, but I know Google did this simply to ease people's minds (I know several people on the Android framework team).
- mkonecny 9y agoOoops, I misread your message. You are stating they can't access your microphone without the permission - I'm not refuting that
