Flutter: Prevent ChangeNotifier's notifyListeners from preventing the animation of the sending

Time:12-15

My actual app is a lot more complex but I have been able to simplify it down to this example which demonstrates the issue.

I have 2 buttons which are supposed to reflect the same data. In this example, I have 2 like (heart) buttons. They can either be in liked or unliked state. However, both's like/unliked status needs to match. I am doing this via ChangeNotifier, ChangeNotifierProvider and Consumer.

In the actual app, there are basically multiple screens which have buttons whose visual state all needs to match the same data.

All this works fine so far.

Here's the problem. I need the button to do some animation on tap. This animation only needs to happen in the tapped button and not the other ones. In this simple example, the button does a pop animation. However, the ChangeNotifier's notifyListener prevents the animation from happening as I think it's basically rebuilding the widget and thus preventing the animation. If I comment out the notifyListener, then the animation works but obviously, the data no longer gets updated and thus other button's don't reflect the correct liked/unliked status.

I have tried setting keys to the buttons but that didn't help. I am lost at how I can solve this. Basically, I need to prevent the tapped button from being affected from the Consumer and notifyListener.

Code:

var b1 = GlobalKey();
var b2 = GlobalKey();
final buttonStateProvider = ButtonStateProvider();

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
    body: Center(
      child: ChangeNotifierProvider.value(
        value: buttonStateProvider,
        child: Consumer<ButtonStateProvider>(builder: (context, provider, child) {
          return Column(
            mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
            children: [
              PoppingButton(
                key: b1,
                liked: provider.isLiked,
                onTap: () {
                  provider.toggleLiked();
                },
              ),
              PoppingButton(
                key: b2,
                liked: provider.isLiked,
                onTap: () {
                  provider.toggleLiked();
                },
              ),
            ],
          );
        }),
      ),
    ),
  );
}

class ButtonStateProvider extends ChangeNotifier {
  bool isLiked = false;
  void toggleLiked() {
    isLiked = !isLiked;
    notifyListeners();

class PoppingButton extends StatelessWidget {

I have modified your code a little, you don't need GlobalKey

I have also add some comments to the changes I made

  final buttonStateProvider = ButtonStateProvider();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: ChangeNotifierProvider.value(
          value: buttonStateProvider,
          child: Consumer<ButtonStateProvider>(
              builder: (context, provider, child) {
            return Column(
              mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
              children: [
                for (int i = 1; i < 3; i  )
                  PoppingButton(
                    id: i,

Add a listener to your ButtonStateProvider and play animation on every state change. PopWidgetState init :

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();
  Provider.of<ButtonStateProvider>(context, listen: false).addListener(() {
    pop();
  });
  animationController.addStatusListener(animationListenerHandler);
}
