I've also been quite frustrated by this issue since I'm also doing activities that depend on a device being always discoverable. There is an open issue on the Android project page about this - if you (and others) would like to see this implemented please star it!

However, even if it does work, from my prior experience working with BT, polling for specific services is much slower than doing regular BT discovery (and possibly more power consuming?)
