You can use DownloadManager: 

DownloadManager downloadManager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(uriString));
downloadManager.enqueue(request);

You should also register a receiver to know when a download completes:

registerReceiver(onDownloadComplete, new IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE));

BroadcastReceiver onDownloadComplete = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    public void onReceive(Context ctxt, Intent intent) {
        String action = intent.getAction();
        if (DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE.equals(action)) {
            //Your code
        }
    }
};
