Unfortunately Android dosen't puropose a solution to set timeout in DownloadManager But in fact You can set a TIMEOUT ClockWake when you are in case of state of pending : DownloadManager.STATUS_PENDING

DownloadManager.Query query = null;
    Cursor c = null;
    DownloadManager downloadManager = null;
    downloadManager = (DownloadManager)getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
    query = new DownloadManager.Query();
     if(query!=null) {
                query.setFilterByStatus(DownloadManager.STATUS_FAILED|DownloadManager.STATUS_PAUSED|DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL|
                        DownloadManager.STATUS_RUNNING|DownloadManager.STATUS_PENDING);
            } else {
                return;
            }
    c = downloadManager.query(query);
    if(c.moveToFirst()) { 
    int status = c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_STATUS)); 
    switch(status) { 
    case DownloadManager.STATUS_PAUSED: 
    break; 
    case DownloadManager.STATUS_PENDING: 
    //here you can set your TIMEOUT solution
    break; 
    case DownloadManager.STATUS_RUNNING: 
    break; 
    case DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL: 
    break; 
    case DownloadManager.STATUS_FAILED: 
    break; 
    }
