Correct, Instrumentation runs in the process of the app being tested, so can only run with its permissions. You can't extend the app's permissions without changing its manifest to declare them. I suppose you could put a service in your instrumentation .apk that your instrumentation code can connect with from the app to execute code that needs other permissions.
