    Predictive back support for root routes (#120385) · dedd100e
    Justin McCandless authored
    This PR aims to support Android's predictive back gesture when popping the entire Flutter app.  Predictive route transitions between routes inside of a Flutter app will come later.

    ### Trying it out
    
    If you want to try this feature yourself, here are the necessary steps:
    
      1. Run Android 33 or above.
      1. Enable the feature flag for predictive back on the device under "Developer
         options".
      1. Create a Flutter project, or clone [my example project](https://github.com/justinmc/flutter_predictive_back_examples).
      1. Set `android:enableOnBackInvokedCallback="true"` in
         android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml (already done in the example project).
      1. Check out this branch.
      1. Run the app. Perform a back gesture (swipe from the left side of the
         screen).
    
    You should see the predictive back animation like in the animation above and be able to commit or cancel it.
    
    ### go_router support
    
    go_router works with predictive back out of the box because it uses a Navigator internally that dispatches NavigationNotifications!
    
    ~~go_router can be supported by adding a listener to the router and updating SystemNavigator.setFrameworkHandlesBack.~~
    
    Similar to with nested Navigators, nested go_routers is supported by using a PopScope widget.
