Hi @ravina03,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with empty notification data in Google Drive. This issue can be frustrating.

Below are the possible solutions to troubleshoot your empty Google Drive notification issue:

Make sure your Drive API watch request is configured correctly.
Examine your application's code carefully. A simple test would be to log the raw message received from Pub/Sub to see exactly what it contains, ensuring that no parsing errors are occurring within your application.
Confirm your subscription is active and correctly configured to receive messages from the topic. Check for any errors in the subscription's logs. If messages are arriving at the topic but not the subscription, there's a configuration problem in your subscription.
Monitor your message count in Pub/Sub for detailed information and to help you in identifying the possible root cause.

What I've found is that whenever we receive a notification, the body is empty, but we do get details like the resource ID and other information in the headers.
