Can't present Settings Alert iOS6 +

Question

Is there a way to present a alert like the alert presented by twitter SDK if no account is signed-in.

I want to display that type of alert if user has disabled Settings->Notification Center for my app.

Just want to present the alert, mentioned twitter as ref. Its not about twitter. enter image description here

NOTE: I don't want to display / use social media, its for reference, question is can we display a custom alert which can navigate the user to settings app of iOS.

it is only available ios 5. after implement social framework it doesn't come. if you want you can do customize — codercat, Feb 12 '14 at 09:03

There is no way to know the status of the switch in Notification Center > Your app. The only thing you can access is what type of notifications he will get ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] enabledRemoteNotificationTypes];).

You can know notification setting of your app and can show alert when it is disable as below

UIRemoteNotificationType types = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] enabledRemoteNotificationTypes];
if (!(types & UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)) {
UIAlertView *al = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"TITLE" message:@"YOUR MESSAGE" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:@"Settings",nil];
    [al show];
    [al release];

}

For more reference, you may check Determine on iPhone if user has enabled push notifications

The only settings you can access are your app's settings, which can be within your app or in Settings app. Your app's settings are the ones you set/get with [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]. However for your case you could schedule a notification which fires after one second, and see if you get called from - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification. Here is an example code.

-(void) createLocalNofication{
UILocalNotification *local = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
local.fireDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:1.0f];

local.alertBody = @"Some Alert Body";
local.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:local];


}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:   (UILocalNotification *)notification {

//Here you can set some flag
}
