This might not be a Samsung related issue. According to the official docs, ACTION_NOTIFICATION_POLICY_ACCESS_SETTINGS is available only on API 23+ (Marshmallow). Does the S5 you're testing on have Android 6 Marshmallow running? If not, that's your problem.

PackageManagerpackageManager= getActivity().getPackageManager();

Intentintent=newIntent();
intent.setAction("android.settings.NOTIFICATION_POLICY_ACCESS_SETTINGS");

if (intent.resolveActivity(packageManager) != null) {
    startActivityForResult(intent, NOTIFICATION_REQUEST_CODE);
} else {
    Log.d(TAG, "No Intent available to handle action");
}
