  armed, // Dragged far enough that an up event will run the onRefresh callback.
  snap, // Animating to the indicator's final "displacement".
  refresh, // Running the refresh callback.
  done, // Animating the indicator's fade-out after refreshing.
  canceled, // Animating the indicator's fade-out after not arming.

                ),
              )
            ],
          ),
        ),

refresh with code

  • define key
  final GlobalKey<PullToRefreshNotificationState> key =
      new GlobalKey<PullToRefreshNotificationState>();

        PullToRefreshNotification(
          key: key,    
  • use key

if you define pull Container hegith with dragOffset, you need set notificationDragOffset when refresh.

  key.currentState.show(notificationDragOffset: maxDragOffset);
