Solution

This is what i used.

        Uri downloadUri = Uri.parse(DOWNLOAD_FILE);
        DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(downloadUri);
        request.setDescription("Downloading a file");
        long id =  downloadManager.enqueue(request.setAllowedNetworkTypes(DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_WIFI |DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_MOBILE)
                .setAllowedOverRoaming(false)
                .setTitle("File Downloading...")
                .setDescription("Image File Download")
                .setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, "cm.png"));

OTHER TIPS

In the code you refer to, the file is opened at the end. At this point, you can consider copying it to the SDCard.

Otherwise (better) use http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/DownloadManager.Request.html setDestinationUri(android.net.Uri) to specify where you want to download the file.

    downloadmanager = (DownloadManager) context.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
    Toast.makeText(context, "Downloading...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    Uri uri = Uri.parse("---- url here ------");
    request = new DownloadManager.Request(uri);
    request.setAllowedNetworkTypes(DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_WIFI | DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_MOBILE);
    request.setAllowedOverRoaming(false);
    request.setTitle("---- title here ------");
    String mimeType = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl("---- url here ------");
    request.setMimeType(mimeType);
    request.setDescription("---- descripation here ------");
    if("---- titlehere ------" != null){
        request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, "---- title here ------");
    }

    request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
    Long reference = downloadmanager.enqueue(request);
