How to disable or hide localization in Number keyboard type?

In my iOS app, when the user click on a UITextfield I need to change the keyboard view to the numeric view automatically. I write below code and it is working fine. 

UITextField *txtfield  = [[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 30)];
txtfield.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad;

My app supports localization. I added 4 keyboards on the device like English, Spanish, Hindi, Emoji. I want disable or hide localization in number keyboard type. Please see attached image. I have highlighted in red box.

enter image description here

Anyone knows how to do that?

(Applies for iOS 10 or later)

Swift

Use .asciiCapableNumberPad for Xcode 8.3/Swift 3.1 for only numbers

txtField.keyboardType = .asciiCapableNumberPad

Objective-C

txtField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapableNumberPad

@Jack answer is correct but if you need to support iDevices with iOS9 and below, you need to put a check like this:

if (IS_OS_10_OR_LATER) {
  txtfield.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapableNumberPad;
}
else {
  txtfield.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad;
}

If not, the users will see a Default keyboard type if their iDevice is still on iOS9 and below.
