Here is another example which uses a jpg as a background image. It also applies opacity to the image.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

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

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: new ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: new Scaffold(
        resizeToAvoidBottomPadding: false,
        appBar: new AppBar(
          title: new Text("test"),
        ),
        body: new Container(
          decoration: new BoxDecoration(
            image: new DecorationImage(
              colorFilter: new ColorFilter.mode(Colors.black.withOpacity(0.6), BlendMode.dstATop),
              image: new AssetImage("assets/images/keyboard.jpg"),
              fit: BoxFit.cover,
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
