Is there any way in photoshop to automate content-aware fill-in the empty space (caused by canvas resize) of images in batch?

yes there is.

flatten the document before you change the canvas (you now have only the background layer.)
copy the background layer to a new layer
extend the canvas as you want it
select layer contents
inverse the selection
do content-aware fill
deselect
stop recording the action

you're done.

You might want to add extending the selection by a couple pixels into the image area just so that there is no change of a line forming between the content aware fill area and the original image. Maybe this isn't an issue.

Always useful to have a px or two overlap!

I have some ideas, there isn't a default native method that comes to mind as I type.

Have all images had their canvas resized? Or is there a mixture of images?

Was the canvas extended with transparent pixels, or opaque pixels such as white?

All images are resized to one size that is 800px*1000px(smart object). When all are resized to this size, some images expose transparent pixels. I want all those transparent pixels to be automatically content aware filled. Is that possible?

The reply from @jefbr should get you there, but if you wish to preserve the smart object layer then a slightly different approach may be required.

An action or script could do this.
