Local Notifications not showing banner while app open

[MadManSoft]

Just want to check that I'm not missing something...

I create a local notification. It doesn't display the banner while the app is open, but is in the notification center if I pull it down.

Is this normal? If it is, how do I get that banner displayed? iMessage would be the example. You are in a different message and new one comes in. It displays in a banner.

If it's not normal, then I'll go back and check in older versions to see where it breaks.

Thanks!
