Your problem is that you passed String to method parameter:

public String waitForElement(String item) {

You have to pass your WebElement, something like:

public boolean visibilityOfElementWait(WebElement webElement) {
    if (webElement != null) {
        try {
            WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(Driver.getCurrentDriver(), 20);
            wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(wrappedElement));
            highlightElement(webElement);
            return true;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return false;
        }
    } else
        Logger.logError("PageElement " + webElement.getText() + " not exist");
    return false;
}

public void highlightElement(WebElement element) {
    if (!Config.getProperty(Config.BROWSER).equalsIgnoreCase("ANDROIDHYBRID")) {

        String bg = element.getCssValue("backgroundColor");

        for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
            Driver.getDefault()
                    .executeScript("arguments[0].style.backgroundColor = 'red'", element);
            Driver.getDefault()
                    .executeScript("arguments[0].style.backgroundColor = '" + bg + "'", element);
        }

   //            String highlightElementScript = "arguments[0].style.backgroundColor = 'red';";
   //            Driver.getDefault().executeScript(highlightElementScript, element);
    }
}
