You can use the following code

String sdcardState = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState();
String fileName = "yourfilename" + ".png";
if (sdcardState.contentEquals(android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED))
  {
     String destPath = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+ File.separator +fileName;
     File output =new File(destPath);

     if(output.exists())
       \\it exists-use Imageview
      else
       \\Download the file accordingly
  }
else
  \\SDCARD not mounted
