quantumpotato s issue   Where types is given by  UIRemoteNotificationType types     UIApplication sharedApplication  enabledRemoteNotificationTypes     one can use  if  types  amp  UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert    instead of   if  types    UIRemoteNotificationTypeNone     will allow you to check only whether notifications are enabled  and don t worry about sounds  badges  notification center  etc    The first line of code  types  amp  UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert  will return YES if  Alert Style  is set to  Banners  or  Alerts   and NO if  Alert Style  is set to  None   irrespective of other settings

Call enabledRemoteNotificationsTypes and check the mask   For example     UIRemoteNotificationType types     UIApplication sharedApplication  enabledRemoteNotificationTypes   if  types    UIRemoteNotificationTypeNone         blah blah blah   iOS8 and above     UIApplication sharedApplication  isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications

Here s how to do this in Xamarin ios   public class NotificationUtils       public static bool AreNotificationsEnabled                  var settings   UIApplication SharedApplication CurrentUserNotificationSettings          var types   settings Types          return types    UIUserNotificationType None            If you are supporting iOS 10  only go with the UNUserNotificationCenter method

I try to support iOS 10 and above using solution provide by  Shaheen Ghiassy but find deprivation issue enabledRemoteNotificationTypes  So  the solution I find by using isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications instead of enabledRemoteNotificationTypes which deprecated in iOS 8  Below is my updated solution that worked perfectly for me   -  BOOL notificationServicesEnabled       BOOL isEnabled   NO      if    UIApplication sharedApplication  respondsToSelector  selector currentUserNotificationSettings             UIUserNotificationSettings  notificationSettings     UIApplication sharedApplication  currentUserNotificationSettings            if   notificationSettings     notificationSettings types    UIUserNotificationTypeNone                 isEnabled   NO            else               isEnabled   YES                  else            if    UIApplication sharedApplication  isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications                 isEnabled   YES            else              isEnabled   NO                      return isEnabled      And we can call this function easily and be accessing its Bool value and can convert it into the string value by this   NSString  str    self notificationServicesEnabled      YES      NO     Hope it will help others too    Happy coding

Unfortunately none of these solutions provided really solve the problem because at the end of the day the APIs are seriously lacking when it comes to providing the pertinent information  You can make a few guesses however using currentUserNotificationSettings  iOS8   just isn t sufficient in its current form to really answer the question  Although a lot of the solutions here seem to suggest that either that or isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications is more of a definitive answer it really is not   Consider this   with isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications documentation states      Returns YES if the application is currently registered for remote notifications  taking into account any systemwide settings      However if you throw a simply NSLog into your app delegate to observe the behavior it is clear this does not behave the way we are anticipating it will work  It actually pertains directly to remote notifications having been activated for this app device  Once activated for the first time this will always return YES  Even turning them off in settings  notifications  will still result in this returning YES this is because  as of iOS8  an app may register for remote notifications and even send to a device without the user having notifications enabled  they just may not do Alerts  Badges and Sound without the user turning that on  Silent notifications are a good example of something you may continue to do even with notifications turned off   As far as currentUserNotificationSettings it indicates one of four things   Alerts are on Badges are on Sound is on None are on   This gives you absolutely no indication whatsoever about the other factors or the Notification switch itself   A user may in fact turn off badges  sound and alerts but still have show on lockscreen or in notification center  This user should still be receiving push notifications and be able to see them both on the lock screen and in the notification center  They have the notification switch on  BUT currentUserNotificationSettings will return  UIUserNotificationTypeNone in that case  This is not truly indicative of the users actual settings   A few guesses one can make    if isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications is NO then you can assume that this device has never successfully registered for remote notifications  after the first time of registering for remote notifications a callback to application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings  is made containing user notification settings at this time since this is the first time a user has been registered the settings should indicate what the user selected in terms of the permission request  If the settings equate to anything other than  UIUserNotificationTypeNone then push permission was granted  otherwise it was declined  The reason for this is that from the moment you begin the remote registration process the user only has the ability to accept or decline  with the initial settings of an acceptance being the settings you setup during the registration process

Below you ll find a complete example that covers both iOS8 and iOS7  and lower versions   Please note that prior to iOS8 you can t distinguish between  remote notifications disabled  and  only View in lockscreen enabled    BOOL remoteNotificationsEnabled   false  noneEnabled alertsEnabled  badgesEnabled  soundsEnabled   if    UIApplication sharedApplication  respondsToSelector  selector registerUserNotificationSettings              iOS8      remoteNotificationsEnabled    UIApplication sharedApplication  isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications       UIUserNotificationSettings  userNotificationSettings    UIApplication sharedApplication  currentUserNotificationSettings       noneEnabled   userNotificationSettings types    UIUserNotificationTypeNone      alertsEnabled   userNotificationSettings types  amp  UIUserNotificationTypeAlert      badgesEnabled   userNotificationSettings types  amp  UIUserNotificationTypeBadge      soundsEnabled   userNotificationSettings types  amp  UIUserNotificationTypeSound     else          iOS7 and below     UIRemoteNotificationType enabledRemoteNotificationTypes    UIApplication sharedApplication  enabledRemoteNotificationTypes       noneEnabled   enabledRemoteNotificationTypes    UIRemoteNotificationTypeNone      alertsEnabled   enabledRemoteNotificationTypes  amp  UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert      badgesEnabled   enabledRemoteNotificationTypes  amp  UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge      soundsEnabled   enabledRemoteNotificationTypes  amp  UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound     if    UIApplication sharedApplication  respondsToSelector  selector registerUserNotificationSettings           NSLog   Remote notifications enabled       remoteNotificationsEnabled     YES      NO       NSLog   Notification type status     NSLog     None       noneEnabled     enabled      disabled    NSLog     Alerts       alertsEnabled     enabled      disabled    NSLog     Badges       badgesEnabled     enabled      disabled    NSLog     Sounds       soundsEnabled     enabled      disabled

In the latest version of iOS this method is now deprecated  To support both iOS 7 and iOS 8 use   UIApplication  application    UIApplication sharedApplication    BOOL enabled      Try to use the newer isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications otherwise use the enabledRemoteNotificationTypes  if   application respondsToSelector  selector isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications          enabled    application isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications     else       UIRemoteNotificationType types    application enabledRemoteNotificationTypes       enabled   types  amp  UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert

To complete the answer  it could work something like this     UIRemoteNotificationType types     UIApplication sharedApplication  enabledRemoteNotificationTypes   switch  types       case UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert     case UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge            For enabled code        break     case UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound     case UIRemoteNotificationTypeNone     default            For disabled code        break      edit  This is not right  since these are bit-wise stuff  it wont work with a switch  so I ended using this   UIRemoteNotificationType types     UIApplication sharedApplication  enabledRemoteNotificationTypes   UIRemoteNotificationType typesset    UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert   UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge   if  types  amp  typesset     typesset        CeldaSwitch chkSwitch on   true    else       CeldaSwitch chkSwitch on   false

Though Zac s answer was perfectly correct till iOS 7  it has changed since iOS 8 arrived  Because enabledRemoteNotificationTypes has been deprecated from iOS 8 onwards  For iOS 8 and later  you need to use isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications    for iOS 7 and before --  Use enabledRemoteNotificationTypes  for iOS 8 and later --  Use isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications

In trying to support both iOS8 and lower  I didn t have much luck using isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications as Kevin suggested  Instead I used currentUserNotificationSettings  which worked great in my testing      BOOL notificationServicesEnabled       BOOL isEnabled   NO       if    UIApplication sharedApplication  respondsToSelector  selector currentUserNotificationSettings             UIUserNotificationSettings  notificationSettings     UIApplication sharedApplication  currentUserNotificationSettings            if   notificationSettings     notificationSettings types    UIUserNotificationTypeNone                 isEnabled   NO            else               isEnabled   YES                  else           UIRemoteNotificationType types     UIApplication sharedApplication  enabledRemoteNotificationTypes           if  types  amp  UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert                isEnabled   YES            else              isEnabled   NO                       return isEnabled

User · Answer

For iOS7 and before you should indeed use enabledRemoteNotificationTypes and check if it equals  or doesn t equal depending on what you want  to UIRemoteNotificationTypeNone   However for iOS8 it is not always enough to only check with isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications as many state above  You should also check if application currentUserNotificationSettings types equals  or doesn t equal depending on what you want  UIUserNotificationTypeNone   isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications might return true even though currentUserNotificationSettings types returns UIUserNotificationTypeNone

In Xamarin  all above solution does not work for me  This is what I use instead   public static bool IsRemoteNotificationsEnabled         return UIApplication SharedApplication CurrentUserNotificationSettings Types    UIUserNotificationType None      It s getting a live update also after you ve changed the notification status in Settings
