And a bit of background, if you're interested: This "No Means No" behavior was by design. It's meant to protect users from sites that may pop-up the dialog repeatedly, in an attempt to badger users into accepting.
Hopefully that explains why you can't do what you're asking. I know, it's unfortunate that your use case (which is different, and not meant to badger users) is hindered by the need to protect users against rogue apps.
