App not receiving android.intent.action.DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE intent

I am writing a simple app that would get notified when any download via the Download manager is completed on the android device. I have created a Broadcast Receiver for the same and set the intent filter as below in my Manifest file. However my broadcast receiver does not get invoked when download is completed . Is there some other permissions that I need to set as well so that my app receives the DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE intent sent by the Download Manager ? Please note : my app needs to listen to any download that is completed via the Download Manager

<receiver
    android:name="com.example.filedownload.Downloadlistener" >
       <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.DOWNLOAD_NOTIFICATION_CLICKED" />
       </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Following are the permissions used :

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Solution

  • I did finally manage to fix this issue by adding the following permission to my manifest:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETED_INTENTS" />
