Swift 4

Import the UserNotifications framework and add the UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate in AppDelegate

import UserNotifications

class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate

To Register Application for APNS, (Include the following code in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method inside AppDelegate.swift)

let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
    center.requestAuthorization(options:[.badge, .alert, .sound]) { (granted, error) in
        // Enable or disable features based on authorization.
    }
    application.registerForRemoteNotifications()

This will call following delegate method

func application(_ application: UIApplication,didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
    //send this device token to server

}

//Called if unable to register for APNS.
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError error: Error) {
    print(error)
}

On Receiving notification following delegate will call:

private func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject]) {

    print("Recived: \(userInfo)")
    //Parsing userinfo:

}
