Find list of Local Notification the app has already set

Question

My app allows users to set a number of reminders in the future. When the app lauches I want to know what reminders (notifications) have already been set.

Can I read back the notifications I have set or do I need to store in my app (e.g. Core Data or Plist)?

Answer 1

UIApplication has a property called scheduledLocalNotifications which returns an optional array containing elements of type UILocalNotification.

UIApplication.shared.scheduledLocalNotifications 

Answer 2

For Swift 3.0 and Swift 4.0

don't forget to do import UserNotifications

This is working for iOS10+ and watchOS3+ since the class UNUserNotificationCenter is not available for older versions (link)

let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()  override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {     super.viewWillAppear(animated)      center.getPendingNotificationRequests { (notifications) in         print("Count: \(notifications.count)")         for item in notifications {           print(item.content)         }     } }
