DownloadManager handles long-running downloads with notification progress. I create DownloadManager.Request with URI and destination. setNotificationVisibility() controls progress notifications. Headers customize HTTP requests. Network type requirements prevent downloads on metered connections. The manager returns a download ID for tracking. BroadcastReceiver listens for ACTIONDOWNLOADCOMPLETE. Queries check download status—pending, running, successful, failed. The system handles retries, resumption, and network changes. Downloads persist across app restarts. DownloadManager simplifies complex download scenarios, offloading work to the system while providing fine-grained control when needed.
