I tried to get the type information of the settings object and found out that the types property is basically a bitmask. Here is how you can extract the informations.

My example is in Swift and >= iOS 8.0 though.

    let settings = UIApplication.sharedApplication().currentUserNotificationSettings()

    if settings.types.rawValue & UIUserNotificationType.Alert.rawValue == UIUserNotificationType.Alert.rawValue
    {
       // can receive alert!
    }
    else
    {
       // if the user is not even able to receive alerts, show him a hint on how to reenable notifications in system settings
    }

    if settings.types.rawValue & UIUserNotificationType.Badge.rawValue == UIUserNotificationType.Badge.rawValue
    {
        // can receive badge!
    }
    if settings.types.rawValue & UIUserNotificationType.Sound.rawValue == UIUserNotificationType.Sound.rawValue
    {
        // can receive sound!
    }
