The notification area can only be put once overall, so it must be somewhere. Check the items of your panels from the preferencies.

there is a plus (+) symbol bottom left - you can add new objects via this
a list will open up with objects to choose from
after you added it you can move it via the up/down arrows on the right

Thank you for replay.
I know how to add items. But In my case Notification Area is not present in this list. is it a bug?

You may be looking for the wrong name?
How about the “Status Tray Plugin”?
Maybe I misunderstood what you where describing, what went missing.

Maybe there is something wrong in the configuration file : ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml

If you actually have a Notification Area configured, it should have line like

<property name="plugin-<numOrder>" type="string" value="systray">
