iOS 8 - How to get LocalNotification playing Sound when App is in Background?

I need to have some Alarm-Clock Functionality in my App.

One of them should be to let the Phone playing Sound when the LocalNotification fires and the App is in the Background.

With iOS 7.1 everything works fine but in iOS8 no Sound is playing anymore until the App is back in Foreground.

At the Moment i'm using the AudioToolbox/AudioServices.h Class.

How can i fix that ?

It seems to be a bug within Xcode Simulator for iOS8. With Xcode Simulator for iOS7.1 AND/OR iOS8 "real" Device everything works fine.

    {
        [application registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:UIUserNotificationTypeAlert|UIUserNotificationTypeBadge|UIUserNotificationTypeSound categories:nil]]

        return YES;
    }
