In my Flutter app, I have this AppBar

Widget setAppBar(){
  return new AppBar(
    title: addAppBarTextWidget('Explore'),
    elevation: 0.0,
    leading: addLeadingIcon(),
    actions: <Widget>[
      addAppBarActionWidget(Constant.iconNotification, 22.0, 16.0, 8.0),
      addAppBarActionWidget(Constant.iconProfile, 30.0, 30.0, 15.0)
    ],
  );
}

Widget addLeadingIcon(){
  return new Container(
    height: 25.0,
    width: 25.0,
    padding: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
    margin: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
    child: new Stack(
      alignment: AlignmentDirectional.center,
      children: <Widget>[
        new Image.asset(
          Constant.iconNotification,
          width: 25.0,
          height: 25.0,
        ),
        new FlatButton(
            onPressed: (){
              onLeadingShowCategoryClick();
            }
        )
      ],
    ),
  );
}

it looks like:

As you can see on the AppBar, there is some extra padding around the leading icon. How can I remove this extra padding.

Just add a property called titleSpacing,

Sample

appBar: AppBar(
        leading: Icon(Icons.android),
        titleSpacing: 0,
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
