You can control the hash value of UIApplication.sharedApplication().currentUserNotificationSettings().

if(UIApplication.instancesRespondToSelector(Selector("registerUserNotificationSettings:"))){
        if(UIApplication.sharedApplication().currentUserNotificationSettings().hashValue == 0){
            pushNotificationStatus = "false"
        } else {
            pushNotificationStatus = "true"
        }
}

Answer 3

Swift 3+

let isRegisteredForLocalNotifications = UIApplication.shared.currentUserNotificationSettings?.types.contains(UIUserNotificationType.alert) ?? false

Swift 2.3

let isRegisteredForLocalNotifications = UIApplication.sharedApplication().currentUserNotificationSettings()?.types.contains(UIUserNotificationType.Alert) ?? false

Answer 4

UIUserNotificationType notificationType = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] currentUserNotificationSettings] types];

if(notificationType == UIRemoteNotificationTypeNone)
        {

            NSLog(@"OFF");
        }
        else{

            NSLog(@"ON");
        }

works for me

Method enabledRemoteNotificationTypes is deprecated since iOS8.

To check remote notifications status in iOS8 you can call

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications];

it will return NO if user disable notifications in Settings. Documentation on isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications

Or you can retrieve all current notification settings:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] currentUserNotificationSettings];
