Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When receiving an invitation (Game Invite or Remote Play Together), you will be presented with an on-screen toast notification. The user can tap the notification to show a prompt allowing them to Accept Invite or Cancel. If a game is actively in focus however tapping the notification does nothing. This forces the user to navigate to the Notifications tab of the Quick-Access Menu or open the relevant chat where the invitation was received from.
