Google Analytics tracking pdf downloads

I have a problem with Google Analytics.

I want to track clicks on an <a> tag which links to a PDF file, for which I'm using a function which will be called when user clicks on download link.

Here is my code:

$('.dl-tracking').on('click', function (){
    ga('send', 'event', 'download', 'click', 'link');
});

But it doesn't work.

Here's the code:

1st Method:

<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

  $(document).ready(function(){
    $('.dl-tracking').on('click', function (){
        _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'download']);
    });
  });

</script>

2nd Method:

<script type="text/javascript">

(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

ga('create', 'UA-XXXX-Y', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');

  $(document).ready(function(){
    $('.dl-tracking').on('click', function (){
        ga('send', 'event', 'download', 'click');
    });
  });

</script>

NOTE

Replace "UA-XXXXX-X" or "UA-XXXX-Y" with your own GA Tracking Code.
