You can do that using

driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Open navigation drawer").click();

Please check the screenshot.

1. Kept infinite loop to get main_activity.
2. Able to find the drawer menu, but drawer menu opening when we run test again.

Before closing the first test, drawer menu shown and closed immediately.
