Please try this method.

public void openFolder() {
   Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
   Uri uri = Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS));
   intent.setDataAndType(uri, "resource/folder"); 
   startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Open folder"));
}

I believe this is the code you are looking for:

Intent intent = new Intent(DownloadManager.ACTION_VIEW_DOWNLOADS);
startActivity(intent);

I guess you need DownloadManager.ACTION_VIEW_DOWNLOADS

Intent viewDownloadsIntent = new Intent(DownloadManager.ACTION_VIEW_DOWNLOADS);
startActivity(viewDownloadsIntent);
