What is "srv_listen" permission used for? I've noticed (by using XPrivacy) that many applications (and some that has nothing to do with location, such as TextSecure) require the following permissions:

Location: srv_listen
Phone: srv_listen


(These permissions seem to be linked)

I failed to find any info on what are these permissions used for, neither what functionality may be harmed by blocking them.

I'd be glad if anyone here with some android programming knowledge can spill any light on it... 
What are they used for? What info may be accessed by granting those permissions? Is it actually providing any location info?

Thanks!
I can't explain what 'srv_listen' really does but to find more info you can use the infobutton in Xprivacy next to the permission name.



There you will find that the actual permission is called ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and you'll find a link to the Google documentation.

I'm sorry that I can't help more.
