How do I listen to checkpoints/savepoint creation in Flink?

Question

I have a flink app, in which I want to listen to checkpoint/savepoint creation events. How do I do that?

I could not find any way to hook a listener for checkpoints in StreamExecutionEnvironment.

There's a callback available to each operator that you hook into by implementing the CheckpointListener interface. You are probably wanting to implement the notifyCheckpointComplete() method.
