You can use ShaderMask
You can run full code below

code snippet

Tab(icon: ShaderMask(
                    blendMode: BlendMode.srcIn,
                    shaderCallback: (Rect bounds) {
                      return ui.Gradient.linear(
                        Offset(4.0, 24.0),
                        Offset(24.0, 4.0),
                        [
                          Colors.blue[200],
                          Colors.greenAccent,
                        ],
                      );
                    },
                    child: Icon(Icons.search)))

        //
        // Try running your application with "flutter run". You'll see the
        // application has a blue toolbar. Then, without quitting the app, try
        // changing the primarySwatch below to Colors.green and then invoke
        // "hot reload" (press "r" in the console where you ran "flutter run",
        // or simply save your changes to "hot reload" in a Flutter IDE).
        // Notice that the counter didn't reset back to zero; the application
        // is not restarted.
