If an Android app wants to access bluetooth, does it have to explicitly ask the user to switch bluetooth on? Could the user authorise the app to switch it on (and off) whenever it wants?

Android documentation for Bluetooth says that you can switch Bluetooth on/off without any requests for user. All you need is to add
android.permission.BLUETOOTHat manifest. But it would be a nice to ask user before switching bluetooth on becouse of battery usage.
