When you open the "Download" application, you will only see files that are downloaded using the API DownloadManager. I guess that PhoneGap does not use that to download files.

But if it is visible or not (in Download Manager), all files in that folder will be accessible to other apps.

Or you can fork my repo for downloading and replace the download parts with the API of DownloadManager.
