To see the second dialog with the Allow Always prompt you have to:

1. Disable the blue indicator.
2. Go to the background.
3. Wait at least 5 seconds.
4. Try to get a location update or use any other core location service.
5. Wait until the user locks and unlocks the device.

To facilitate this, you can set the distance filter to none and start getting continuous location updates.

If you want the location updates to be delivered in the background, then you have to show the blue indicator. And then the second dialog requesting Allow Always would never appear.
