How to set custom offset to "FloatingActionButtonLocation" in the scaffold, in flutter?

Question

So recently FloatingActionButtonLocation was introduced and it has four values all for bottom alignment. I want it at the top, halfway below the app bar. But I couldn't figure out how to set a custom offset. The official documentation is also scarce on this.

This is against material design guidelines.But you can do this by changing scaffoldGeometry.contentBottom to scaffoldGeometry.contentTop from original source code.Below code should work

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'dart:math' as math;


class HomeHeader extends StatefulWidget {
  final GlobalKey<ScaffoldState> _scaffoldKey = new GlobalKey<ScaffoldState>();
  @override
  HomeHeaderState createState() {
    return new HomeHeaderState();
  }
}

class HomeHeaderState extends State<HomeHeader> {

  static const FloatingActionButtonLocation centerDocked = _CenterDockedFloatingActionButtonLocation();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      key: widget._scaffoldKey,
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text('duh'),
      ),
      floatingActionButtonLocation:centerDocked,
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        child: const Icon(Icons.add), onPressed: () {

      },),
      body: new Container()
    );
  }
}
class _CenterDockedFloatingActionButtonLocation extends _DockedFloatingActionButtonLocation {
  const _CenterDockedFloatingActionButtonLocation();

  @override
  Offset getOffset(ScaffoldPrelayoutGeometry scaffoldGeometry) {
    final double fabX = (scaffoldGeometry.scaffoldSize.width - scaffoldGeometry.floatingActionButtonSize.width) / 2.0;
    return Offset(fabX, getDockedY(scaffoldGeometry));
  }
}

abstract class _DockedFloatingActionButtonLocation extends FloatingActionButtonLocation {
  const _DockedFloatingActionButtonLocation();
  @protected
  double getDockedY(ScaffoldPrelayoutGeometry scaffoldGeometry) {
    final double contentBottom = scaffoldGeometry.contentTop;
    final double appBarHeight = scaffoldGeometry.bottomSheetSize.height;
    final double fabHeight = scaffoldGeometry.floatingActionButtonSize.height;
    final double snackBarHeight = scaffoldGeometry.snackBarSize.height;

    double fabY = contentBottom - fabHeight / 2.0;
    if (snackBarHeight > 0.0)
      fabY = math.min(fabY, contentBottom - snackBarHeight - fabHeight - kFloatingActionButtonMargin);
    if (appBarHeight > 0.0)
      fabY = math.min(fabY, contentBottom - appBarHeight - fabHeight / 2.0);

    final double maxFabY = scaffoldGeometry.scaffoldSize.height - fabHeight;
    return math.min(maxFabY, fabY);
  }
}
