I am able to make a phone call by bringing up the system phone app and CONNECT A CALL:

Here's what you need to do:

1. pubspec.yaml add package:

   intent:

2. main.dart:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:intent/intent.dart' as android_intent;
import 'package:intent/action.dart' as android_action;

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);


  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State {

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return (Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: RaisedButton(
                 onPressed: _launchURL,
                 child: Text('Dial a number'),
               )
      ),
    ));
  }
}


_launchURL() async {
  // Replace 12345678 with your tel. no.

  android_intent.Intent()
    ..setAction(android_action.Action.ACTION_CALL)
    ..setData(Uri(scheme: "tel", path: "12345678"))
    ..startActivity().catchError((e) => print(e));
}

Then, after running this app and click the "Dial a number", the System Phone App will bring up and make a call. (Unlike url_launcher, you don't need to press the Green Call button in the System Phone App)
