    [self becomeFirstResponder];
    UIMenuItem *menuItem = [[UIMenuItem alloc] i

On iOS 9 with Swift to SHOW ONLY CUSTOM ITEMS (without the default cut, paste and so on), I only managed to make work with the following code.

On method viewDidLoad:

let longPressRecognizer = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(contextMenuHandler))
longPressRecognizer.minimumPressDuration = 0.3
longPressRecognizer.delaysTouchesBegan = true
self.collectionView?.addGestureRecognizer(longPressRecognizer)

Override method canBecomeFirstResponder:

override func canBecomeFirstResponder() -> Bool {
    return true
}

Override these two collection related methods:

override func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, shouldShowMenuForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool {
    return true
}

override func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, canPerformAction action: Selector,
                             forItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath, withSender sender: AnyObject?) -> Bool {
    return (action == #selector(send) || action == #selector(delete))
}

Create the gesture handler method:

func contextMenuHandler(gesture: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {

    if gesture.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.Began {

        let indexPath = self.collectionView?.indexPathForItemAtPoint(gesture.locationInView(self.collectionView))

        if indexPath != nil {

            self.selectedIndexPath = indexPath!

            let cell = self.collectionView?.cellForItemAtIndexPath(self.selectedIndexPath)
            let menu = UIMenuController.sharedMenuController()
            let sendMenuItem = UIMenuItem(title: "Send", action: #selector(send))
            let deleteMenuItem = UIMenuItem(title: "Delete", action: #selector(delete))
            menu.setTargetRect(CGRectMake(0, 5, 60, 80), inView: (cell?.contentView)!)
            menu.menuItems = [sendMenuItem, deleteMenuItem]
            menu.setMenuVisible(true, animated: true)
        }
    }
}

And, finally, create the selector's methods:

func send() {
    print("Send performed!")
}

func delete() {
    print("Delete performed!")
}

Hope that helps. :)

Cheers.
