/// A named channel for sending events to the framework-side using streams.
///
/// This is the platform-side equivalent of [EventChannel]. Whereas
/// [EventChannel] receives a stream of events from platform plugins, this
/// channel sends a stream of events to the handler listening on the
/// framework-side.
///
/// The channel [name] must not be null. If no [codec] is provided, then
/// [StandardMethodCodec] is used. If no [binaryMessenger] is provided, then
/// [pluginBinaryMessenger], which sends messages to the framework-side,
/// is used.
///
/// Channels created using this class implement two methods for
/// subscribing to the event stream. The methods use the encoding of
/// the specified [codec].
///
/// The first method is `listen`. When called, it begins forwarding
/// messages to the framework side when they are added to the
/// [controller]. This triggers the [onListen] callback on the
/// [controller].
///
/// The other method is `cancel`. When called, it stops forwarding
/// events to the framework. This triggers the [onCancel] callback on
/// the [controller].
///
/// Events added to the [controller] when the framework is not
/// subscribed are silently discarded.
