Do you want the phone call user interface to open or would you rather make the request silently? If you prefer to do it without popping the phone call UI, Android introduced in API level 26 the method sendUssdRequest.

I made a Flutter plugin called ussd_service to be able to easily access it from dart in a Flutter application. It can be used in the following manner:

import 'package:ussd_service/ussd_service.dart';

makeMyRequest() async {
  int subscriptionId = 1; // sim card subscription Id
  String code = "*21#"; // ussd code payload
  try {
    String ussdSuccessMessage = await UssdService.makeRequest(subscriptionId, code);
    print("succes! message: $ussdSuccessMessage");
  } on PlatformException catch (e) {
    print("error! code: ${e.code} - message: ${e.message}");
  }
};

makeMyRequest();

Hope this helps! Let me know on the Github repo's issues if you have any issue with it.
