Use Download Manager,

private void for_call_download() {
        File folder = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(DOWNLOAD_FOLDER_NAME);
        if (!folder.exists() || !folder.isDirectory()) {
            folder.mkdirs();
        }
        try {
            DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(APK_URL));
            request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(DOWNLOAD_FOLDER_NAME, DOWNLOAD_FILE_NAME);
            request.setTitle(SessionName);
            request.setDescription("" + SessionDesc);
            request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
            request.setVisibleInDownloadsUi(false);
            request.setMimeType("application/cn.trinea.download.file");
            downloadId = downloadManager.enqueue(request);
        } catch (IllegalStateException i) {
            showAlert(context, "Sorry Some Problem");
            i.printStackTrace();
        }
        updateView();
        status_download = true;
    }

You can prefer android DownLoadManager.
somehow want to do like this in your activity

String mUrl="your video url";

DownloadManager manager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
Request request = new Request(Uri.parse(mUrl));
            request.setDestinationInExternalFilesDir(getApplicationContext(), Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, your_fileName);
            request.setNotificationVisibility(Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE);
            request.setAllowedOverRoaming(false);
            request.setAllowedNetworkTypes(DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_WIFI | DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_MOBILE);
            manager.enqueue(request);


setNotificationVisibility() -> show download notification in notification bar(window) with download progress also.

below are three methods where you can choose destination for your downloaded file path.
1. setDestinationInExternalFilesDir(Context context, String dirType, String subPath) Set the local destination for the downloaded file to a path within the application's external files directory (as returned by getExternalFilesDir(String).


2. setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(String dirType, String subPath) Set the local destination for the downloaded file to a path within the public external storage directory (as returned by getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(String)).


3. setDestinationUri(Uri uri) Set the local destination for the downloaded file.
