Does the notification look like in the screenshot from https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374143?

In that case its because the notification from the touchpad system were sent before the relevant part of Plasma was launched and we hit a fallback codepath.

We have since reworked the relevant parts and it shouldn't be an issue any more
