Swift ios check if remote push notifications are enabled in ios9 and ios10

Question

How can I check if the user has enabled remote notifications on ios 9 or ios 10?

If the user has not allowed or clicked No I want to toggle a message asking if they want to enable notifications.

Updated answer after iOS 10 is using UNUserNotificationCenter .

First you need to import UserNotifications then

let current = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
current.getNotificationSettings(completionHandler: { permission in
    switch permission.authorizationStatus  {
    case .authorized:
        print("User granted permission for notification")
    case .denied:
        print("User denied notification permission")
    case .notDetermined:
        print("Notification permission haven't been asked yet")
    case .provisional:
        // @available(iOS 12.0, *)
        print("The application is authorized to post non-interruptive user notifications.")
    case .ephemeral:
        // @available(iOS 14.0, *)
        print("The application is temporarily authorized to post notifications. Only available to app clips.")
    @unknown default:
        print("Unknow Status")
    }
})

this code will work till iOS 9, for iOS 10 use the above code snippet.

let isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications = UIApplication.shared.isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications
if isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications {
     // User is registered for notification
} else {
     // Show alert user is not registered for notification
}
