Swift: Schedule a local notification for a specific time on weekdays - ios

Question

Hi I am trying to schedule a local notification to fire at 9:00am on weekdays (mon - fri) and cant seem to find any documentation on how to do this. Here is my code so far:
#IBAction func scheduleLocal(sender: UIButton) {
guard let settings = UIApplication.sharedApplication().currentUserNotificationSettings() else { return
}
if settings.types == .None {
let ac = UIAlertController(title: "Cant Schedule", message: "No Permission", preferredStyle: .Alert)
ac.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default, handler: nil))
presentViewController(ac, animated: true, completion: nil)
return
}
let notification = UILocalNotification()
notification.fireDate = NSDate()
notification.alertBody = "Come Exercise"
notification.alertAction = "Exercise Time"
notification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName
notification.userInfo = ["customField1": "w00t"]
UIApplication.sharedApplication().scheduleLocalNotification(notification)
}
and in viewDidLoad:
let notificationSettings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: [.Alert, .Badge, .Sound], categories: nil)
UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerUserNotificationSettings(notificationSettings)
