I m able to do one of the following to successfully use a selector - without annotating anything with  objc   NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self      selector  batteryLevelChanged   as Selector      name  UIDeviceBatteryLevelDidChangeNotification       object nil        OR  let notificationSelector  Selector    batteryLevelChanged    NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self      selector  notificationSelector      name  UIDeviceBatteryLevelDidChangeNotification       object nil        My xcrun version shows Swift 1 2  and this works on Xcode 6 4 and Xcode 7 beta 2  which I thought would be using Swift 2 0     xcrun swift --version  Apple Swift version 1 2  swiftlang-602 0 53 1 clang-602 0 53

Declare a notification name  extension Notification Name       static let purchaseDidFinish   Notification Name  purchaseDidFinish      You can add observer in two ways   Using Selector  NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector myFunction   name   purchaseDidFinish  object  nil    objc func myFunction notification  Notification        print notification object          myObject     print notification userInfo           AnyHashable  key     Value       or using block  NotificationCenter default addObserver forName   purchaseDidFinish  object  nil  queue  nil     weak self   notification  in     guard let strongSelf   self else           return            strongSelf myFunction notification  notification     func myFunction notification  Notification        print notification object          myObject     print notification userInfo           AnyHashable  key     Value      Post your notification  NotificationCenter default post name   purchaseDidFinish  object   myObject   userInfo    key    Value          from iOS 9 and OS X 10 11  It is no longer necessary for an   NSNotificationCenter observer to un-register itself when being   deallocated  more info   For a block based implementation you need to do a weak-strong dance if you want to use self inside the block  more info  Block based observers need to be removed more info  let center   NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   center removeObserver self localeChangeObserver

It s the same as the Objective-C API  but uses Swift s syntax   Swift 4 2  amp  Swift 5   NotificationCenter default addObserver      self      selector   selector self batteryLevelChanged       name  UIDevice batteryLevelDidChangeNotification      object  nil    If your observer does not inherit from an Objective-C object  you must prefix your method with  objc in order to use it as a selector    objc private func batteryLevelChanged notification  NSNotification              do stuff using the userInfo property of the notification object     See NSNotificationCenter Class Reference  Interacting with Objective-C APIs

A nice way of doing this is to use the addObserver forName object queue using   method rather than the addObserver   selector name object   method that is often used from Objective-C code  The advantage of the first variant is that you don t have to use the  objc attribute on your method       func batteryLevelChanged notification  Notification               do something useful with this information            let observer   NotificationCenter default addObserver          forName  NSNotification Name UIDeviceBatteryLevelDidChange          object  nil  queue  nil          using  batteryLevelChanged    and you can even just use a closure instead of a method if you want       let observer   NotificationCenter default addObserver          forName  NSNotification Name UIDeviceBatteryLevelDidChange          object  nil  queue  nil      in print         You can use the returned value to stop listening for the notification later       NotificationCenter default removeObserver observer    There used to be another advantage in using this method  which was that it doesn t require you to use selector strings which couldn t be statically checked by the compiler and so were fragile to breaking if the method is renamed  but Swift 2 2 and later include  selector expressions that fix that problem

Swift 3 0 in Xcode 8  Swift 3 0 has replaced many  stringly-typed  APIs with struct  wrapper types   as is the case with NotificationCenter  Notifications are now identified by a struct Notfication Name rather than by String  See the Migrating to Swift 3 guide   Previous usage      Define identifier let notificationIdentifier  String    NotificationIdentifier      Register to receive notification NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self  selector   selector YourClassName methodOfReceivedNotification       name  notificationIdentifier  object  nil      Post a notification NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   postNotificationName notificationIdentifier  object  nil    New Swift 3 0 usage      Define identifier let notificationName   Notification Name  NotificationIdentifier       Register to receive notification NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector YourClassName methodOfReceivedNotification   name  notificationName  object  nil      Post notification NotificationCenter default post name  notificationName  object  nil    All of the system notification types are now defined as static constants on Notification Name  i e   UIDeviceBatteryLevelDidChange   UIApplicationDidFinishLaunching   UITextFieldTextDidChange  etc   You can extend Notification Name with your own custom notifications in order to stay consistent with the system notifications      Definition  extension Notification Name       static let yourCustomNotificationName   Notification Name  yourCustomNotificationName         Usage  NotificationCenter default post name   yourCustomNotificationName  object  nil
