how to use broadcastReciever to notify Download Complete using Download Manager

Question

I am downloading files using the download manager, and I want to notify the user after the download is completed.

I found this answer and tried using BroadcastReciever but for some reason, I don't know why the receiver is not working.

Here's the code:

BroadcastReceiver broadcastReceiver;
DownloadManager downloadmanager;
long iid;
@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_show_pdf);

        downloadmanager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
        registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver,new IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE));
        broadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                if(iid == intent.getLongExtra(DownloadManager.EXTRA_DOWNLOAD_ID,-1)){
                    Log.i("inside","onRecieve");
                    Toast.makeText(ShowPdfActivity.this, "Downloaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            }
        };

                    DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(url));

                   request.setAllowedOverRoaming(false);
                    request.setDescription("Downloading");
                    request.allowScanningByMediaScanner();    
                request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);                  request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS,uploadPDF.getName());
                    request.setMimeType(".pdf");
                    iid = downloadmanager.enqueue(request);
                }

pdf is downloading properly(redacted from Log) and showing in the notification bar , but i want to do some work when download is completed

Answer 1

i am answering my question so that if anyone else is facing same issue can get it solved

thanks to @Sandeepdhiman

registering reciever inside onResume function and unregistering it in On pause function seems to work i don't know why it was not working when i registered in onCreate and unregistered in onDestroy

@Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver,new IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE));
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        unregisterReceiver(broadcastReceiver);
    }

this seems to work for me
