I imagine what you are trying to do would look something like this:
In the layout you are including, specify a boolean variable and bind it to the desired view’s visibility
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<data>
<import type="android.view.View"/>
<variable
name="isVisible"
type="boolean"/>
</data>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:visibility="@{isVisible ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE}"/>
</layout>
Then In your calling layout bind your value
<include
android:id="@+id/image_layout"
layout="@layout/image_layout"
bind:isVisible="@{notification.notifType == 0}"/>
