Hi Nguyen, 

ShowKeyBoardAlways property is not applicable for Xamarin.Forms.Android platform. Please refer the below work around to show the keyboard always in android platform. 





public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsAppCompatActivity 
{ 
        public override View CurrentFocus 
        { 
            get 
            { 
                if (SfChatRenderer.IsChatEditorFocused(base.CurrentFocus)) 
                { 
                    return null; 
                } 
                return base.CurrentFocus; 
            } 
        } 
} 

Please refer our User Documentation of ShowKeyBoardAlways property in the following link
