iOS8 - UILocalNotification, Check for permission later from code

I am writing my application in Swift for iOS8.

I wanted to use UILocalNotification to notify user of some things. For that, I have asked permission at the app launch with this:

application.registerUserNotificationSettings(UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: UIUserNotificationType.Sound | UIUserNotificationType.Alert | UIUserNotificationType.Badge, categories: nil))

A confirm box shows up asking for permission. If user allows it, there's no problem.

If the user does not give permission, how do I check if local notifications are enabled from code (programmatically)?

..and this is how you check it in Swift:

let currentSettings = UIApplication.sharedApplication().currentUserNotificationSettings()
let required:UIUserNotificationType = UIUserNotificationType.Sound; // Add other permissions as required
let notification = UILocalNotification()

    if (currentSettings.types & required) != nil {
        println("sound will come and also vibration")
        notification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName
    }else{
        println("no sound no vibration")
    }

Nice to know:
it will vibrate automatically, whether sound is on/off over your iphone button - nothing will happen if the user will set sound off in settings for your app.
So you don't have to add vibration additionally.

For the record, this is how you check the permissions in Objective-C:

UIUserNotificationSettings *current = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] currentUserNotificationSettings];
UIUserNotificationSettings *required = UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert; // Add other permissions as required
if(current.types & required) {
    NSLog(@"Permission present: 0x%ulX", settings.types);
} else {
    NSLog(@"Permission not present: 0x%ulX", settings.types);
}

The documentation answers you question like this:

After calling this method, the app calls the application:didRegisterUserNotificationSettings: method of its app delegate to report the results. You can use that method to determine if your request was granted or denied by the user.
