What is the Callback Method if You Click "Don't Allow" in Push Notification Popup?

Question

There's a push notification popup that appears on fresh install of app. There are two choices, OK and Don't Allow (if i remember it correctly.)

I want to know what's the call back method if I click "Don't Allow". The thing is, I implemented didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotifications because I thought that if I click "Don't Allow" it would go straight to that method in AppDelegate. However, the method wasn't called.

My problem is I need to know the event when user clicks on "Don't Allow". Is there a way to do this? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotifications is when communication with apple registration service fail, there is no way to know a user just clicked on don't allow, but you can check UIApplication, there is a method to know the state of PushNotification registration — Jerome Diaz, Oct 31 '13 at 10:57

There is no delegate callback however from here:Callback Method if user declines Push Notification Prompt?

You can have a BOOL variable to check it in your AppDelegate,

AppDelegate.m

// declare a BOOL 
BOOL allow = NO;

- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData*)deviceToken
{
  allow = YES;
  [self doWhatever];
}

- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError*)error
{
  allow = YES;
  [self doWhatever];
}

didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotifications

is when communication with apple registration service fail, there is no way to know a user just clicked on don't allow, but you can check UIApplication, there is a method to know the state of PushNotification registration

NSUInteger rntypes = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] enabledRemoteNotificationTypes]; 
if (rntypes == UIRemoteNotificationTypeNote) {
    // application is not registered for any type of push notification
}

read my text, I already said it it wasn't called, I even told it in the comment below the question before you even put your own answer – Jerome Diaz Oct 31 '13 at 12:15
