BroadcastReceiver not receiving download complete action

  • Use full package name for you receiver like com.example.DownloadListenerService
  • Add android:exported="true" BroadcastReceiver can receive messages from sources outside its application.
  • Change the name of the Action in the intent-filter to android.intent.action.DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE

        <receiver 
            android:name="com.example.DownloadListenerService"
            android:exported="true" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    

The receiver only will be triggered if was registered from your application using registerReceiver(@Nullable BroadcastReceiver receiver,IntentFilter filter);

Code to enqueue Download :

DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse("https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo4w.png"));
dm.enqueue(request);
