You would be better off using the DownloadManager. You can see example code by Lars Vogel here

The relevant bit:

DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
        Request request = new Request(
                Uri.parse("http://www.vogella.de/img/lars/LarsVogelArticle7.png"));
        enqueue = dm.enqueue(request);

Note that DownloadManager is available on API version 9 (Android 2.3, Gingerbread) and upwards.

sure , the better is DownloadManager :) but I want to ask you how I can determination the path on SD too ?! – Oubaida AlQuraan Jan 25 '13 at 12:09
Use the setDestinationInExternalPublicDir method of the Request object. For example, to save the mp3 file as "song.mp3" in the default MUSIC directory, use request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_MUSIC, "song.mp3"); – WeNeigh Jan 25 '13 at 12:22
Oops !! Forgive me, I forget a small thing ,,, when the download end ,,, how I can open the file path ? – Oubaida AlQuraan Jan 25 '13 at 12:36
File musicFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_MUSIC), "song.mp3"); – WeNeigh Jan 25 '13 at 12:37

You can put this in your download.php file

 <?php
     $file = $_GET['file'];
     header ("Content-type: octet/stream");
     header ("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$file.";");
     header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
     readfile($file);
     exit;
   ?>

and then:

 Uri.parse("direct_download.php?file=filename.mp3");
