Flutter Firestore trying to use Stream how I was using QuerySnapshot

I am new to flutter and firebase and I am trying to add Firestore documents to a list. I have been successful in doing this using this code:

getLocationListings(ListingNotifier listingNotifier, String location) async {
  QuerySnapshot snapshot = await Firestore.instance
      .collection('listings')
      .where('location', isEqualTo: location)
      .getDocuments();
      print(location);

  List<Listing> _listingList = [];

  snapshot.documents.forEach((document) {
    Listing listing = Listing.fromMap(document.data);
    _listingList.add(listing);
  });

  listingNotifier.listingList = _listingList;
}

I am now using the Flutter package: "GeoFlutterFire" so that I can query Firestore documents by geolocation.

I have been following the readme from: https://pub.dev/packages/geoflutterfire and to read data it looks like he is using a Stream like this:

Stream<List<DocumentSnapshot>> stream = geo.collection(collectionRef: collectionReference)
                                        .within(center: center, radius: radius, field: field);

My question is, is there any way I can add the documents from that stream into my _listingList like I am doing in my first code example?

I have tried just switching out the QuerySnapshot with the provided Stream example and changing snapshot with stream, but stream.documents.forEach((document) doesn't work

Geoflutterfire geo = Geoflutterfire();
Firestore _firestore = Firestore.instance;
GeoFirePoint center = geo.point(latitude: lat, longitude: lng);
var collectionReference = _firestore.collection('listings');
double radius = 50;
String field = 'position';

getLocationListings(ListingNotifier listingNotifier, GeoFirePoint location) async {

  Stream<List<DocumentSnapshot>> stream = geo.collection(collectionRef: collectionReference)
                                        .within(center: center, radius: radius, field: field);


  List<Listing> _listingList = [];

  stream.documents.forEach((document) {
    Listing listing = Listing.fromMap(document.data);
    _listingList.add(listing);
  });

  listingNotifier.listingList = _listingList;
}

its not elegant but you can also do forEach with async pattern as follows

List<documentSnapshot> _myDocs = [];
await stream.forEach((List<documentSnapshot> documentList) {
  // do something
  documentList.forEach((doc) {
    _myDocs.add(doc);
  });
})
.timeout(Duration(seconds: 10, // timeout after 10 seconds for example
), 
onTimeout () {
  // do something on timeout
})
.whenComplete((){
  // finally do something
  notifyListeners();
});

PS. this is working for me to retrieve and store the streamed document snapshots into a list, but I am still getting an error with " A 'ChangeNotifier' was used after being disposed" (the above snippet is part of a function in a ChangeNotifier class and I call notifyListeners() at the end of the function as shown in the snippet), would love to get rid of this error but so far I haven't figured it out.

Continuing the documentation it states you need to listen to the stream. Here is the example they give: 

    stream.listen((List<DocumentSnapshot> documentList) {
      // doSomething()
    });
