class TestDemo extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
        visualDensity: VisualDensity.adaptivePlatformDensity,
      ),
      home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key? key, required this.title}) : super(key: key);

  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage>
    with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {

  TabController? controller;
  int pos = 0;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return DefaultTabController(
        length: 3,
        child: Scaffold(
          appBar: AppBar(
            backgroundColor: Colors.white,
            elevation: 0,
            bottom: TabBar(
                controller: controller,
                onTap: (int) {
                  setState(() {
                    pos = int;
                  });
                  print("Pos" + int.toString());
                },
                unselectedLabelColor: Color(0xFF82868a),
                labelColor: Colors.white,
                indicatorSize: TabBarIndicatorSize.label,
                indicator: BoxDecoration(

                    color: Colors.black),
                tabs: [
                  Tab(
                    child: Container(
                      decoration: BoxDecoration(
                        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(8),
                        color: pos == 0
                            ? Colors.transparent
                            : const Color(0xFFf6f6f6),
                      ),
                      child: const Align(
                        alignment: Alignment.center,
                        child: Text("New"),
                      ),
                    ),
                  ),
                  Tab(
                    child: Container(
                      decoration: BoxDecoration(
                        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(8),
                        color:
                            pos == 1 ? Colors.transparent : Color(0xFFf6f6f6),
                      ),
                      child: Align(
                        alignment: Alignment.center,
                        child: Text(
                          "Confirmed",
                         
                        ),
                      ),
                    ),
                  ),
                  Tab(
                    child: Container(
                      decoration: BoxDecoration(
                        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(8),
                        color:
                            pos == 2 ? Colors.transparent : Color(0xFFf6f6f6),
                      ),
                      child: Align(
                        alignment: Alignment.center,
                        child: Text("In Transits"),
                      ),
                    ),
                  ),
                ]),
          ),
          body: TabBarView(controller: controller,
              dragStartBehavior: DragStartBehavior.down,
              children: [
            Icon(Icons.apps),
            Icon(Icons.movie),
            Icon(Icons.games),
          ]),
        ));
  }
}

Above code is for tabbar view. On click of tab selected tab color is highlighted and unselected color will update as in grey. but when I swipe tabbar, tab color is not updating. Indicator is just override below the container

I want to change tab color on tab click as well on tab swipe.

    You need to update your pos variable whenever controller.index updates. You can listen to it’s changes like this:

    late TabController controller = TabController(length: 3, vsync: this);

@override
void initState() {
  controller.addListener(() {
    setState(() {
      pos = controller.index;
    });
  });
  super.initState();
}

    Just remove container decoration in every tab in your code, it will work for swipe and on-tap both

    Tab(
                child: Container(
                  child: Align(
                    alignment: Alignment.center,
                    child: Text("In Transits"),
                  ),
                ),
              ),
