get remote notification type enabled on iOS 8

in iOS 7 i can retrieve the notification type that the user have enabled in this way:

NSUInteger rntypes = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] enabledRemoteNotificationTypes];

but on iOS 8 i can't do this, because i get this in the console:

enabledRemoteNotificationTypes is not supported in iOS 8.0 and later.

i have found a way to check if the notification are enabled on iOS 8:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications]

but how i can retrieve of what type of notification are enabled like in iOS 7?

I had the same problem and I found out that the types property is basically a bitmask. Here is how you can extract the informations. My example is in Swift though.

    let settings = UIApplication.sharedApplication().currentUserNotificationSettings()

    if settings.types.rawValue & UIUserNotificationType.Alert.rawValue == UIUserNotificationType.Alert.rawValue
    {
       // can receive alert!
    }
    else
    {
       // if the user is not even able to receive alerts, show him a hint on how to reenable notifications in system settings
    }

    if settings.types.rawValue & UIUserNotificationType.Badge.rawValue == UIUserNotificationType.Badge.rawValue
    {
        // can receive badge!
    }
    if settings.types.rawValue & UIUserNotificationType.Sound.rawValue == UIUserNotificationType.Sound.rawValue
    {
        // can receive sound!
    }

According to developer.apple.com you may use this UIApplication's method:

- (UIUserNotificationSettings *)currentUserNotificationSettings

and then check notification types by using:

@property (nonatomic, readonly) UIUserNotificationType types;

So it will be something like this:

UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] currentUserNotificationSettings];
UIUserNotificationType types = settings.types;
