Android 4.1: How to check notifications are disabled for the application?

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).
