Flutter Provider nested navigation

To be able to access providers accross navigations, you need to provide it before MaterialApp as follows

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

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ChangeNotifierProvider(
      create: (_) => ViewModel(),
      child: MaterialApp(
        title: 'Flutter Demo',
        theme: ThemeData(
          primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
        ),
        home: MyHomePage(),
      ),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyHomePage({Key key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        body: Center(
            child: RaisedButton(
      child: Text("DetailView"),
      onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).push(
        MaterialPageRoute(
          builder: (context) => DetailScreen(),
        ),
      ),
    )));
  }
}

class DetailScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  const DetailScreen({Key key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        body: Center(
      child: RaisedButton(
        child: Text("EditScreen"),
        onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context)
            .push(MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => EditScreen())),
      ),
    ));
  }
}

class EditScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  const EditScreen({Key key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: RaisedButton(
            child: Text("Print"),
            onPressed: () =>
                Provider.of<ViewModel>(context, listen: false).printNumber()),
      ),
    );
  }
}

class ViewModel extends ChangeNotifier {
  printNumber() {
    print(2);
  }
}
