Application.application == null Follow

I am trying to do this under IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3:

Application.invokeLater(() -> {
   JButton component = new JButton(message);
   component.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 30));

   component.addActionListener((event) -> {
      StringSelection stringSelection = new StringSelection(message);
      Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
      clipboard.setContents(stringSelection, null);
   });

   WindowManager.getInstance().getStatusBar(element.getProject()).fireNotificationPopup(component, color);
});

It fails with the following exception:

Debugging it has led me to this:

This is happening after my IntelliJ has successfully started up and is running, with external annotators and all. 

This still is the preferred way to do invokeLater(), right?
