Updated 21 December 2018

Download Manager is a system service which optimizes the handling of long-running downloads in the background. If you want to download large files/streaming you can use  Android Download Manager.  The download manager handles HTTP connections, monitors connectivity changes, reboots, and ensures each download completes successfully.

Add the following permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

First, we will have to generate URI from URL.

On click of the  button, write the below mentioned code.

In the above code, We are passing a request to the Download Manager with the download file URL, Title and Description to be shown in notification bar etc. We can also specify whether the download should happen over wifi or cellular or both.

Thanks for reading.
