ScrollNotificationObserver class

Notifies its listeners when a descendant scrolls.

To add a listener to a ScrollNotificationObserver ancestor:

ScrollNotificationObserver.of(context).addListener(_listener);

To remove the listener from a ScrollNotificationObserver ancestor:

ScrollNotificationObserver.of(context).removeListener(_listener);

Stateful widgets that share an ancestor ScrollNotificationObserver typically add a listener in State.didChangeDependencies (removing the old one if necessary) and remove the listener in their State.dispose method.

Any function with the ScrollNotificationCallback signature can act as a listener:

// (e.g. in a stateful widget)
void _listener(ScrollNotification notification) {
  // Do something, maybe setState()
}

This widget is similar to NotificationListener. It supports a listener list instead of just a single listener and its listeners run unconditionally, they do not require a gating boolean return value.

This sample shows a "Scroll to top" button that uses ScrollNotificationObserver to listen for scroll notifications from ListView. The button is only visible when the user has scrolled down. When pressed, the button animates the scroll position of the ListView back to the top.
