webView.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener()
  {
   public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent, String contentDisposition, String mimetype, long contentLength)
   {
    //for downloading directly through download manager
    Request request = new Request(Uri.parse(url));
    request.allowScanningByMediaScanner();
    request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
    request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, "download");
    DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
