After search with "Problematic" answer, the correct syntax is:
$crawler = $client->request('GET', '/foo/', array(), array(), array(
'HTTP_X-Requested-With' => 'XMLHttpRequest',
));

The Request#isXmlHttpRequest() method simply checks if the X-Requested-With header is equivalent to XMLHttpRequest. If that's the method you're using to determine if a request is an ajax call, then you can simulate the behavior in the test client by adding the appropriate header to the request:
class FooFunctionalTest extends WebTestCase
{
$client = static::CreateClient();
$crawler = $client->request('GET', '/foo/', array(), array(), array(
'X-Requested-With' => 'XMLHttpRequest',
));
// ...
}
More information can be found about the Request object in the source code.

syntax problem, see my answer. Thank's =)
For POST, PUT:
$crawler = $client->request('POST', '/foo/', array('param' => 'value'), array(),
array(
'HTTP_X-Requested-With' => 'XMLHttpRequest',
));
For POST, PUT with raw JSON body:
$crawler = $client->request('POST', '/foo/', array(), array(), array(
'HTTP_X-Requested-With' => 'XMLHttpRequest',
'CONTENT_TYPE' => 'application/json',
), '{"param": "value"}');

If you are working with Symfony 3.x or 4.x this is the correct way to do it using POST method.
$data = ['some' => 'value'];
$client = static::createClient();
$client->request('POST', '/some_uri', ['data' => $data], [],; [
'HTTP_X-Requested-With' => 'XMLHttpRequest',
]);
