For iOS 10 or higher

Checking if push notifications have been enabled for your app has changed dramatically for Swift 3. Use this instead of the above examples if you are using Swift 3.

    let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
    center.getNotificationSettings { (settings) in
        if(settings.authorizationStatus == .authorized)
        {
            print("Push authorized")
        }
        else
        {
            print("Push not authorized")
        }
    }

Here is Apple's documentation on how to further refine your check: https://developer.apple.com/reference/usernotifications/unnotificationsettings/1648391-authorizationstatus
