Android how to download something WITHOUT showing any notification or notifying the user

I want to download a file using downloadManager but I don't want to show any notifications. I think the term for this is silent downloading. Any help would be appreciated.

Solution

  • Method 1:

    You can use IntentService for downloading files without any notification.

    Method :2

    Also you can use BroadCastReceiver Which is used to capture the Network state changing, Reboot, etc. You can start download from there.

    Method 3:

    Use AsynkTask for downloading file at the background
