Screenshot:

All you need is a NotificationListener.onNotification callback:

NotificationListener<UserScrollNotification>(
  onNotification: (notification) {
    final ScrollDirection direction = notification.direction;
    return true;
  },
  child: ListView.builder(
    itemCount: 100,
    itemBuilder: (_, i) => ListTile(title: Text('$i')),
  ),
)

Full code:

bool _visible = true;
  
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
    floatingActionButton: AnimatedOpacity(
      duration: Duration(milliseconds: 400),
      opacity: _visible ? 1 : 0,
      child: FloatingActionButton(
        child: Icon(Icons.add),
        onPressed: () {},
      ),
    ),
    body: NotificationListener<UserScrollNotification>(
      onNotification: (notification) {
        final ScrollDirection direction = notification.direction;
        setState(() {
          if (direction == ScrollDirection.reverse) {
            _visible = false;
          } else if (direction == ScrollDirection.forward) {
            _visible = true;
          }
        });
        return true;
      },
      child: ListView.builder(
        itemCount: 100,
        itemBuilder: (_, i) => ListTile(title: Text('$i')),
      ),
    ),
  );
}
