security - Android permissions: How can I learn which are dangerous vs normal?

Android defines a set of permissions that third-party apps can request. Permissions are categorized by sensitivity; most permissions are either "normal" or "dangerous". Normal permissions are granted automatically, without prompting the user; dangerous permissions are presented to the user when the app is installed and the user is asked to consent to granting them.

Question: For any particular Android permission I have in mind, how can I tell whether it is a normal permission or a dangerous permission? Is there a list of dangerous permissions and a list of normal permissions?

(I know that third-party apps can declare their own permissions. I'm only asking about standard permissions. I know it may not be possible to get a 100%-complete list. I'm only looking for best-effort; something is better than nothing.)

For a related but different question, see also Where can I get a list of Android permissions (however, that's a different question; it doesn't at the normal vs dangerous distinction, and I don't necessarily need a complete list).
