Notifications missing from ANCS

I have been working on a bluetooth smart device which subscribes to Apple's Notification Center Service (ANCS). Everything is working as expected, and all notifications which appear in the iOS device's notification center appear on the notification source endpoint. It works for both Apple apps like message, mail, calendar, etc, as well as third party apps like Twitter and Skype.


I have created my own iOS application, which generates both local notifications (UILocalNotification via scheduleLocalNotification) from a background task and receives push notifications via Apple's Push Notification Service (APNs). Both local and remote notifications do appear in the iOS notification center, but they do NOT appear on the ANCS notification source endpoint. Could someone explain this behaviour? Do I need to declare some capability within my iOS app to enable the link between the iOS notification center and ANCS? Clearly I am missing something. Any insight would be appreciated, thank you.


I have installed my app on an iPhone5 running iOS8.4, both directly from XCode in developer mode, as well as via Safari/MDM as an in-house enterprise distribution. The result is the same for both versions/installs.
