That's what you get with a permission model of "hey, if you don't like that this app asks for every permission known to man, just don't use it!"

Even with the take-it-or-leave-it faux-contract of adhesion permission model, there should be a visual indication when an app is using the microphone. Background microphone (not as a result of a directly preceding user intent) should be a separate additional permission, and probably shouldn't be exempted from having a visual notification with an easy way to mute the passive listening.
