I'm still having this issue on 16.04. Is there any workaround to make
bluetooth indicator always visable? I'm turning it on and off many times
every day and it's bugging me a lot.

Title:
  Indicator disappears entirely when disabling / turning off bluetooth

Status in indicator-bluetooth package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Bug 1116289 made the BT indicator disappear when there is no hardware.
  However, with that version I now also have it disappear when my
  existing BT hardware is merely disabled. I. e. I disable BT from the
  indicator, then it disappears, leaving me no obvious method to turn it
  back on again. I can re-enabble it in control-center, and then the
  indicator comes back.

  I think when it sees no actual BT hardware it ought to check rfkill
  whether there is disabled BT hardware:

  $ grep -r . /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/{type,state,soft,persistent}
  /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/type:bluetooth
  /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state:1
  /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/soft:0
  /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/persistent:1

  After disabling BT from the indicator, "soft" changes to 1:

  $ grep -r . /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/{type,state,soft,persistent}
  /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/type:bluetooth
  /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state:0
  /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/soft:1
  /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/persistent:1
