Notes to make IR shield (made by LinkSprite) work in Raspberry Pi 3 (bought from Amazon [1]). 
The vendor has some documentation [2] but that is not complete and sufficient for Raspbian Stretch. 
Following are the changes that I made to make it work.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install lirc

# Add the following lines to /etc/modules file
lirc_dev
lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=18 gpio_out_pin=17

func showNotification() -> Void {
    var notification = NSUserNotification()
    notification.title = "Test from Swift"
    notification.informativeText = "The body of this Swift notification"
    notification.soundName = NSUserNotificationDefaultSoundName
    NSUserNotificationCenter.defaultUserNotificationCenter().deliverNotification(notification)
}

//showNotification()
