How to get the current user in twig extension service [symfony2.8]

I'm trying to get the current user in my NotificationExtension.php. But the page become very slow to load and I also get this error:

Error: Call to a member function getUser() on null

The error say that is impossible to get the current user, but i'm login.

This is my service:

notification:
  class: Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Twig\NotificationExtension
  arguments: ['@doctrine.orm.entity_manager', '@service_container', '@security.context']
  tags:
        - { name: twig.extension }

NotificationExtension :

<?php

namespace Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Twig;

use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authentication\Token\Storage\TokenStorage;
use Twig_Extension;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\SecurityContext;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Security;

class NotificationExtension extends \Twig_Extension
{
    protected $container;
    protected $em;

    public function __construct(EntityManager $em,ContainerInterface $container, SecurityContext $context)
    {
        $this->container = $container;
        $this->em = $em;
        $this->doctrine = $container->get('doctrine');
        $this->context = $context;
    }

    public function getGlobals()
    {
        $user = $this->container->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();

        return(array(

            'unreadMessagesCount' => $this->em->getRepository('ApplicationSonataUserBundle:Notif')->findBy(
                    array(
                        'user' => $user,
                        'seen' => true
                    ),
                    array('date' => 'DESC')
                )));
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return 'notification';
    }
}

ADD:

service:

notification:
  class: Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Twig\NotificationExtension
  arguments: ['@doctrine.orm.entity_manager','@security.token_storage']
  tags:
        - { name: twig.extension }

get current user:

public function getUser()
{
    return $this->tokenStorage->getToken()->getUser();
}

you can access the username like that : app.user.username

If you want to check if the user is logged, you can use the is_granted twig function.

eg :

{% if is_granted("ROLE") %}
    Hi {{ app.user.username }}
{% endif %}

Define instead a service as a global Twig variable:

# app/config/config.yml
twig:
    # ...
    globals:
        user_notification: '@app.user_notification'

The service class: 

// src/AppBundle/Twig/Globals/UserNotification.php

class UserNotification
{
    private $tokenStorage;
    // ...

    public function __construct(TokenStorageInterface $tokenStorage, ...)
    {
        $this->tokenStorage = $tokenStorage;
        // ...
    }

    public function getUnreadMessages()
    {
        if (null === $token = $this->tokenStorage->getToken()) {
            return array();
        }

        $user = $token->getUser();

        // $unreadMessages = <DB query for get the unread messages from current user>

        return $unreadMessages;
    }
}

The service definition:

# app/config/config.yml

services:
    app.user_notification:
        class: AppBundle\Twig\Globals\UserNotification
        arguments: ['@security.token_storage', ...]

Finally, for all templates you can to use this service:

# foo.html.twig

{{ user_notification.unreadMessages|length }}

Whenever the global variable is accessed in the template, the service will be requested from the service container and you get access to that object.
