Protractor Get Text of Notification

I am testing part of our application which clears the cache for the user. Basically, the user clicks their user menu and then clicks the Clear Cache option. After this, a notification appears indicating that the cache has been cleared.

This option calls this method:

        clearCache(): void {
            this.Cache.clearAll();
            this.localizedNotifications.notify('Cache cleared', 'info');
        }

My protractor test is:

    it('Click Clear Cache from User Menu', () => {
      common.chooseUserMenuClearCache();
      let popUpAlert = browser.switchTo().alert();
      let alertText = popUpAlert.getText();
      expect(alertText).toMatch('Cache cleared');
    });

My test is returning that there is no alert open. This notification displays for a second or two and then disappears on its own. So I am wondering what I can do differently to get this test to pass?

Instead of using browser.switchTo().alert() I used browser.switchTo().activeElement() and it worked.
