Open Settings
Select Apps
Tap the Gear icon
Select Draw over other apps
Select the application that is running in the background <- I think you're missing the step here.
Turn Off Permit drawing over other apps
Close and reopen the application
Set the application permission
Once the application permissions have been set, the Permit drawing over other apps may be re-enabled.
