I'm looking for a way to determine if the user has, via settings, enabled or disabled their Local notifications for my application. Here I'm not using push notification

Thanks.

Before iOS5.0 Local Notifications was always available.

Since iOS8.0 exists way to detect it is disabled by user or not: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26052687/751932

There are no public way to determine what you ask between iOS 5.0 to 8.0

Set a test notification with a fireDate in 1 second. Check if it gets called in 

(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification)

    This test doesn't help. If the user has disabled local notifications for the app in settings, they will still be delivered while the app is open. – Confused Vorlon Sep 05 '14 at 13:11

    Now 2 years later look at this better solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26051950/check-if-local-notifications-are-enabled-in-ios-8/26052687#26052687 – Rob van den Berg Sep 27 '14 at 08:45

you can find out what types of notifications the user has registered for by calling:

  [[UIApplication sharedApplication] enabledRemoteNotificationTypes];

which returns a bitmask based on UIRemoteNotificationType;

  • this doesn't tell you if user has notification enabled at all, only what types he enabled. He could turn off notifications completely and this will still return 6 (in my case). Is there any way how to detect it more reliable? – Lope Jan 24 '12 at 13:32
  • Also, more importantly, enabledRemoteNotificationTypes tells you about the **remote** notification types that are enabled. @akshata was asking about **local** notifications. Unfortunately, there's no method in the UIApplication API that can show what local notifications are enabled. – yuji Feb 02 '12 at 19:14
