Check this code:

  public class DialogSample extends Activity {

       private ProgressDialog progressDialog=null;

       @Override
       public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
       {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.main);

          AsynTaskLoder asynTaskLoder=new AsynTaskLoder();
          asynTaskLoder.execute();
      }

    public class AsynTaskLoder extends AsyncTask<String,Integer,Boolean>
    {
        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() 
        {
        progressDialog.setTitle("Please Wait");
            progressDialog.setMessage("Fetching Data...");
            progressDialog.show();
        }

    @Override
    protected Boolean doInBackground(String... params) 
    {       
        // write your code 
        //(like : image/audio/video downloading from net)

        return true;
    }
    @Override
    protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) 
    {
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) 
    {
        if(progressDialog.isShowing())
        {
            progressDialog.dismiss();
        }
    }
  }
}

Use AsyncTask to download data and show progress dialog window.

to show progress dialog:

Dialog diag = ProgressDialog.show(this, "title", "message", true);

to dismiss dialog:

diag.dismiss();

Assuming the user clicks on the notification. The first thing you could do in code is check if the source is done downloading, if not use AlertDialog.Builder or something similar to throw up a simple dialog box with a progress widget. Once the file has finished downloading it can call dismiss() on the dialog window and allow the user to proceed normally.
