Working solution for someone that might have the same issue.

**Elasticsearch response with aggregation example:**

**Helper method to create NamedXContentRegistry**

```
public static List<NamedXContentRegistry.Entry> getDefaultNamedXContents() {
    Map<String, ContextParser<Object, ? extends Aggregation>> map = new HashMap<>();
    map.put(TopHitsAggregationBuilder.NAME, (p, c) -> ParsedTopHits.fromXContent(p, (String) c));
    map.put(StringTerms.NAME, (p, c) -> ParsedStringTerms.fromXContent(p, (String) c));
    List<NamedXContentRegistry.Entry> entries = map.entrySet().stream()
            .map(entry -> new NamedXContentRegistry.Entry(Aggregation.class, new ParseField(entry.getKey()), entry.getValue()))
            .collect(Collectors.toList());
  return entries;
}

```

**Method to get SearchResponse from String/Json**

```
public static SearchResponse getSearchResponseFromJson(String jsonResponse){
    try {
        NamedXContentRegistry registry = new NamedXContentRegistry(DashboardCuke.getDefaultNamedXContents());
        XContentParser parser = JsonXContent.jsonXContent.createParser(registry, jsonResponse);
        return SearchResponse.fromXContent(parser);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        System.out.println("exception " + e);
    }catch (Exception e){
        System.out.println("exception " + e);
    }
    return new SearchResponse();
}
```
