MPNowPlayingInfoCenter not fully available if player playback controls disabled

If I disable playback controls for an AVPlayer (showsPlaybackControls), some feature of MPNowPlayingInfoCenter no longer working. (play/pause, skip forward and backward). I need custom video and audio controls on my AVPlayer in my app, that's why I disabled the iOS playback controls. But I also need the features of the MPNowPlayingInfoCenter. Is there another solution to achieve this?

Also the track progression bar is not working.
