Steps to reproduce

You will need to generate an API token and grant the notifications privilege.

PS /Users/greg> $apitoken = "yourapitoken"
PS /Users/greg> $headers = @{ Authorization = "token $apitoken" }
PS /Users/greg> $resp = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://api.github.com/notifications -Headers $headers
PS /Users/greg> $resp -eq $null                                                                                                     
PS /Users/greg>

What is returned is an Object.

PS /Users/greg> $resp -is [System.Object]                                                                                           
True
PS /Users/greg>

Should be no different than this.

PS /Users/greg> $obj = New-Object System.Object                                                                                     
PS /Users/greg> $obj -eq $null                                                                                                      
False
PS /Users/greg>

Expected behavior

PS /Users/greg> $resp -eq $null
True
PS /Users/greg>

Actual behavior

PS /Users/greg> $resp -eq $null
PS /Users/greg>
