UILocalNotification doesn't send

Question

I'm trying to send a UILocalNotification like this:

func sendNotifiaction() {
        let notification = UILocalNotification()
        notification.userInfo = [
            "Identifier": self.identifier!
        ]
        notification.alertTitle = "Alarm!"
        notification.alertBody = "test"
        //notification.soundName = "Temporary-bleep-sound.aiff"
        notification.category = "category"

        UIApplication.sharedApplication().scheduleLocalNotification(notification)
    }

I tried to put a break point on this method and it is being called and run, but the notification doesn't sent at all.

Anyone has an idea why?

You gotta to register the Notification first

UIApplication.sharedApplication().cancelAllLocalNotifications()
let settings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: .Alert, categories: nil)
UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerUserNotificationSettings(settings)

Here's my demo for Notification firing at a specific time

class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

    var window: UIWindow?


    func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
        // Override point for customization after application launch.

        UIApplication.sharedApplication().cancelAllLocalNotifications()
        let settings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: .Alert, categories: nil)
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerUserNotificationSettings(settings)

        let localNotification1 = UILocalNotification()
        localNotification1.alertBody = "Your alert message at 9:00 pm"
        localNotification1.timeZone = NSTimeZone.defaultTimeZone()
        localNotification1.fireDate = self.getNinePMDate()
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().scheduleLocalNotification(localNotification1)
        return true
    }

    func getNinePMDate() -> NSDate? {
        let calendar: NSCalendar! = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier: NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian)
        let now: NSDate! = NSDate()
        let date21h = calendar.dateBySettingHour(21, minute: 0, second: 0, ofDate: now, options: NSCalendarOptions.MatchFirst)
        return date21h
    }
}
