Unsuccessful download with Download Manager Android 9


I am trying to download a file from the internet with DownloadManager on Android 9, but I only get unsuccessful download. This is what I am testing:

My Manifest permission:

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

My code to download it:

    private final String FILE_NAME = "SampleDownloadApp.apk";
    String apkUrl = "https://androidwave.com/source/apk/app-pagination-recyclerview.apk";

public void download(Context context) {
    DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager)context.getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
    Uri mUri = Uri.parse(apkUrl);
    DownloadManager.Request r = new DownloadManager.Request(mUri);
    r.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
    Uri uri = Uri.parse("file://" + context.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS).toString() + "/" + FILE_NAME_2);
    r.setDestinationUri(uri);
    dm.enqueue(r);
}

I have tried android: usesCleartextTraffic = "true" in the manifest but then nothing happens. I never get any errors neither in logcat nor in run.

I followed this tutorial: https://androidwave.com/download-and-install-apk-programmatically/

I have no idea what the problem may be, any solution?

Help with this!
