Building off of Saurabh7474's answer, you can toggle Marshmallow's torchMode by registering a torchCallback:

 final CameraManager mCameraManager = (CameraManager) getSystemService(Context.CAMERA_SERVICE);
 CameraManager.TorchCallback torchCallback = new CameraManager.TorchCallback() {
     @Override
     public void onTorchModeUnavailable(String cameraId) {
         super.onTorchModeUnavailable(cameraId);
     }

     @Override
     public void onTorchModeChanged(String cameraId, boolean enabled) {
         super.onTorchModeChanged(cameraId, enabled);
         boolean currentTorchState = enabled;
         try {
             mCameraManager.setTorchMode(cameraId, !currentTorchState);
         } catch (CameraAccessException e){}



     }
 };

 mCameraManager.registerTorchCallback(torchCallback, null);//fires onTorchModeChanged upon register
 mCameraManager.unregisterTorchCallback(torchCallback);
