If anyone after a solution to display dialog based on the widget value update.

For example, let users know the screen they are trying to view, has been deleted.

if (xxx.timestamps.deleted == null) {
  return DetailView(xxx: xxx);
} else {
  return FutureBuilder(
    future: Future.delayed(
      Duration.zero,
      () => showDialog(
          context: context,
          builder: (_) => ActionDialog(
              title: Text('xxx Deleted'),
              content: Text('xxx deleted'),
              confirmActions: [DialogConfirm.Ok])).then(

You can call the dialog from inside 'initState()' dalaying its appearance after the first frame has been drawn.

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) async {
      await showDialog<String>(
        context: context,
        builder: (BuildContext context) => new AlertDialog(
              title: new Text("title"),
              content: new Text("Message"),
              actions: <Widget>[
                new FlatButton(
                  child: new Text("OK"),
                  onPressed: () {
                    Navigator.of(context).pop();
                  },
                ),
              ],
            ),
      );
    });
  }

Another way of doing it is using Timer.run(...)

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();

  // simply use this
  Timer.run(() {
    showDialog(
      context: context,
      builder: (_) => AlertDialog(title: Text("Dialog title")),
    );
  });
}
