So far I only have a working code for retrieving texts from ppt slide notes
try {
    FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream("C:\\sample\\test.ppt");
    SlideShow ppt = new SlideShow(is);
    Slide[] slide = ppt.getSlides();
    for (int i = 0; i < slide.length; i++) {
        System.out.println(i);
        TextRun[] runs = slide[i].getNotesSheet().getTextRuns();
        if (runs.length < 1) {
            System.out.println("null");
        } else {
            for (TextRun run : runs) {
                System.out.println(" > " + run.getText());
            }
        }
    }
} catch (IOException ioe) {
}
But how do you retrieve text from pptx slide notes?
After constant trial and error, found a solution.
try {
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("C:\\sample\\sample.pptx");
    XMLSlideShow pptxshow = new XMLSlideShow(fis);
    XSLFSlide[] slide2 = pptxshow.getSlides();
    for (int i = 0; i < slide2.length; i++) {
        System.out.println(i);
        try {
            XSLFNotes mynotes = slide2[i].getNotes();
            for (XSLFShape shape : mynotes) {
                if (shape instanceof XSLFTextShape) {
                    XSLFTextShape txShape = (XSLFTextShape) shape;
                    for (XSLFTextParagraph xslfParagraph : txShape.getTextParagraphs()) {
                        System.out.println(xslfParagraph.getText());
                    }
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }
    }
} catch (IOException e) {
}
