Question

Answer 1

You've restricted the READ_SMS manifest permission to API 22 and below.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" android:maxSdkVersion="22" />

As I mentioned in the comments, this manifest permission is still needed in Marshmallow and above, in addition to the runtime request. Remove the maxSdkVersion attribute from the permission element.

Answer 2

Declare permission in manifest like this:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />

Mind it, there is no maxSdkVersion attribute. Reference.
