LinearProgressIndicator Flutter Usage

You can use AlwaysStoppedAnimation simply for valueColor,

LinearProgressIndicator(
    backgroundColor: Colors.red,
    valueColor: AlwaysStoppedAnimation<Color>(Colors.amber,),
    value: 0.8,
),

Try this :

Instead of

value: _controller.value,

Use

value: _controller.value ?? 0.0,

You can also use the package that I created , it has animation:

https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/percent_indicator

You are not using animation object.

import 'dart:async';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(new MaterialApp(
    debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
    home: new MyApp(),
  ));
}

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  MyAppState createState() => new MyAppState();
}

class MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      appBar: new AppBar(
        title: new Text('Slider Demo'),
      ),
      body: new Container(
        color: Colors.blueAccent,
        padding: new EdgeInsets.all(32.0),
        child: new ProgressIndicatorDemo(),
      ),
    );
  }
}

class ProgressIndicatorDemo extends StatefulWidget {

  @override
  _ProgressIndicatorDemoState createState() =>
      new _ProgressIndicatorDemoState();
}

class _ProgressIndicatorDemoState extends State<ProgressIndicatorDemo>
    with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
  AnimationController controller;
  Animation<double> animation;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    controller = AnimationController(
        duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 2000), vsync: this);
    animation = Tween(begin: 0.0, end: 1.0).animate(controller)
      ..addListener(() {
        setState(() {
          // the state that has changed here is the animation object’s value
        });
      });
    controller.repeat();
  }


  @override
  void dispose() {
    controller.stop();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Center(
        child: new Container(
          child:  LinearProgressIndicator( value:  animation.value,),

        )
    );
  }

}
