UserNotifications Using UNUserNotificationCenter With Alerts Setting in System Preferences

Question

I'm using MacOS Mojave and I switched from using NSUserNotification, which is now deprecated, to UNUserNotificationCenter. My app appears in System Preferences Notifications with a banner style selected. Is the banner style always the default? I really want to start with an alerts style so the user can see the buttons that are available.

    // 03-27-2019 commented. has absolutely no effect on the notification appearing
    UNAuthorizationOptions options = UNAuthorizationOptionAlert | UNAuthorizationOptionSound | UNAuthorizationOptionBadge | UNAuthorizationOptionProvidesAppNotificationSettings;
    [[UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter] requestAuthorizationWithOptions:options

UNNotificationAction* snoozeAction = [UNNotificationAction
                                      actionWithIdentifier:@"SNOOZE_ACTION"
                                      title:@"Snooze"
                                      options:UNNotificationActionOptionNone];  // 03-25-2019 The action has the default behavior.

UNNotificationAction* stopAction = [UNNotificationAction
                                    actionWithIdentifier:@"STOP_ACTION"
                                    title:@"Stop"
                                    options:UNNotificationActionOptionForeground];  // 03-25-2019 The action causes the app to launch in the foreground.

// start 03-27-2019
UNNotificationAction* bogusAction = [UNNotificationAction
                                     actionWithIdentifier:@"BOGUS_ACTION"
                                     title:@"Bogus"
                                     options:UNNotificationActionOptionForeground];  // 03-25-2019 The action causes the app to launch in the foreground.

                                                                        } else {
                                                                            NSLog(@"requestAuthorizationWithOptions: YES");
