Android: Find Push Notification Settings from App

Is there a way to determine from the android app if the user has disabled push notifications on the app through settings?

I am assuming that flag is to disable "Push Messages" ?

No.

"Push" is a means of delivering information to a device, initiated by a server, rather than being initiated by a client. The most commonly used communications engine for Android that is thought of as "push" is Google Cloud Messaging (GCM).

The "Show Notifications" checkbox in Settings controls whether the device should show Notification requests from this app (and, secondarily, whether the app can show a Toast).

While a Notification request can be created as the result of a GCM-style push, they are completely separate things. GCM does not automatically result in a Notification, and few Notification requests have anything to do with GCM.
