/**
 * Calling this function checks current permissions settings related to notifications.
 * It lets you verify whether the app is currently allowed to display alerts, play sounds, etc.
 * There is no user-facing effect of calling this.
 * @return It returns a `Promise` resolving to an object represents permission settings ([`NotificationPermissionsStatus`](#notificationpermissionsstatus)).
 * On iOS, make sure you [properly interpret the permissions response](#interpret-the-ios-permissions-response).
 * @example Check if the app is allowed to send any type of notifications (interrupting and non-interrupting–provisional on iOS).
 * ```ts
 * import * as Notifications from 'expo-notifications';
 *
 * export async function allowsNotificationsAsync() {
 *   const settings = await Notifications.getPermissionsAsync();
 *   return (
 *     settings.granted || settings.ios?.status === Notifications.IosAuthorizationStatus.PROVISIONAL
