Well to snooze notification you can create another notification with same details of current notification and increase the fire date by 5 mins.
Here is the code I used :
func snoozeScheduledNotification(notification:UILocalNotification) -> Void {
// Snooze for 10 mins
let localNotification = UILocalNotification()
localNotification.fireDate = notification.fireDate?.addingTimeInterval(60*10)
localNotification.repeatInterval = NSCalendar.Unit(rawValue: 0) // 0 = No Repeat
localNotification.alertBody = notification.alertBody
localNotification.soundName = notification.soundName
localNotification.userInfo = notification.userInfo
localNotification.category = notification.category
UIApplication.shared.scheduleLocalNotification(localNotification)
}
Hope it helps you.

When the user selects a snooze button in the notification, the app will call the delegate method to handle so just call this function in it. – Malav Soni Oct 17 '20 at 05:43

what if there is no snooze button in the notification.? What if the notification fires and then you are routed to an alarm screen where you can snooze it from there? – steller Oct 18 '20 at 07:02

The shortest and simplest code I found about it
For Swift 3/4
extension UNNotification {
func snoozeNotification(for hours: Int, minutes: Int, seconds: Int) {
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.title = "Another Alert"
content.body = "Your message"
content.sound = .default()
let identifier = self.request.identifier
guard let oldTrigger = self.request.trigger as? UNCalendarNotificationTrigger else {
debugPrint("Cannot reschedule notification without calendar trigger.")
return
}
var components = oldTrigger.dateComponents
components.hour = (components.hour ?? 0) + hours
components.minute = (components.minute ?? 0) + minutes
components.second = (components.second ?? 0) + seconds
let trigger = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger(dateMatching: components, repeats: false)
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: identifier, content: content, trigger: trigger)
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request) { error in
if let error = error {
debugPrint("Rescheduling failed", error.localizedDescription)
} else {
debugPrint("rescheduled success")
}
}
}
}
You just need to call it this way :
response.notification.snoozeNotification(for: 0, minutes: 0, seconds: 30)

For iOS10, use this code.
Use this code in AppDelegate.swift
file.
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil) -> Bool {
let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
let category = UNNotificationCategory(identifier: "identifier", actions: [], intentIdentifiers: [])
center.setNotificationCategories([category])
center.requestAuthorization(options: [.badge, .alert , .sound]) { (greanted, error) in
print(error)
}
return true
}
You can put this code in any view controller.
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent.init()
content.title = "Notification Title"
content.subtitle = "Notification Sub-Title"
content.body = "Notification Body"
content.sound = UNNotificationSound.default()
let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: 5, repeats: false)
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "identifier", content: content, trigger: trigger)
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request) { error in
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
if (error != nil){
//handle here
}
}
You can handle notification using following method:
extension UIViewController: UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate {
public func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Swift.Void) {
completionHandler( [.alert, .badge, .sound])
}
public func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping () -> Swift.Void) {
print("Tapped in notification")
}
}

2The question is not about how to create a notification but snoozing it – Mehdi Chennoufi Jun 25 '18 at 22:09
