Android 4.1: How to check notifications are disabled for the application?
Android 4.1 offers the user a check box to disable notifications for a specific application.
However, as a developer we have no way to know whether a call to notify was effective or not.
I really need to check if the notifications are disabled for the current application but I can't find any setting for that in the API.
Is there ever a way to check this setting in the code?
You can't 100% can't.
It is asked in this Google I/O 2012 video and the Project lead for the new notifications declares that you can't.
Edit
2016 update: Now you can check it, as said in this Google I/O 2016 video.
Use NotificationManagerCompat.areNotificationsEnabled(), from support library, to check if notifications are blocked on API 19+. The versions below API 19 will return true (notifications are enabled).
