unable to display empty view in recycler view

I am trying to place an empty view when my list is empty in recycler view but it't not working. I tried following code:

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_notification, container, false);
        ((AppCompatActivity) getActivity()).getSupportActionBar().show();
        initVar();
        initViews();
        loadData();
        if (notifications.isEmpty()){
            recyclerView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            imageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }
        else {
            recyclerView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            imageView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }
        return view;
    }

And XML Code:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

            <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
                android:id="@+id/notification_recycler_view"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent" />

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/empty_iv_notification"
                android:layout_width="200dp"
                android:layout_height="200dp"
                android:layout_gravity="center"
                android:visibility="gone"
                android:src="@drawable/ic_empty" />
</LinearLayout>

put below code in loadData() when your data is loaded i mean if your list is empty then below code executed.

 if (notifications.isEmpty()){
            recyclerView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            imageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }
        else {
            recyclerView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            imageView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }
