The small screentop notification can be accidentally selected by tapping if it appears while you are doing another gesture in the same area. I believe it could be useful, at least optionally, to select it by sliding left/right rather than by a simple tap.

Also I wonder if the notification is big enough for comfortable sliding - elements you just need to click can be smaller than elements you need to slide.

For me it would be much more useful
