Till the part to opening notification shade there isn’t any problem. But whenever I try to locate the notification of my app using the text `driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.TextView[@text='TitleText']"));` I am not able to click it because this textview is not clickable. Also, whenever I try to click or tap it appium crashes. `error: uncaughtException: Cannot read property 'sockets' of null date` Is there any solution for finding your notification item and click it?
