As far as I am aware, the last time 'notify' had any major changes was 
Samba 4.3.0, so I think it is in the version of Samba on your server. If 
it is in your Samba and the notifications are now arriving at your 
server, then it is most likely a client problem, I say this because the 
server is responding to outside forces, they are not originating on the 
server.

If these 'notifications' have just started, then you need to find out 
when they started and what changed, any updates etc.
