Snooze alarm only works if no apps are open

I use my alarm as a reminder to take an important medication and I really need the snooze button. If I am doing anything else on my phone, it works but I am using app, only get a banner and touching the banner or a side button stops the alarm completely

iPad, iOS 9

if you are using your device when the alarm goes off.. then don't tap on the banner notification.. swipe up on it to 'dismiss' it.

I do this all the time and it works to snooze the alarm.
