For Set Your Path For Download File Use: Work For me (Android 11).

 File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/YOUR FOLDER/", "YOUR FILE.(mp3|mp4|pdf|...)");

    request.setDestinationUri(Uri.fromFile(file));

Complete Code:

First Check Directory

  private boolean CreateDirectory() {
boolean ret = false;
File filepath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File dir = new File(filepath.getPath() + "/YOUR FOLDER/");
if (!dir.exists()) {
    try {
        dir.mkdirs();
        ret = true;

    } catch (Exception e) {
        ret = false;
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
return ret;
}

Then:

     String URL = " YOUR URL ";

        DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(URL));
        request.setAllowedNetworkTypes(DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_WIFI | DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_MOBILE);
        request.setTitle("YOUR TITLE");
        request.setDescription("YOUR DESCRIPTION");
        request.allowScanningByMediaScanner();
   request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);

        File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/YOUR FOLDER/", "YOUR FILE.(mp3|mp4|pdf|...)");

        request.setDestinationUri(Uri.fromFile(file));
        DownloadManager manager=(DownloadManager)getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
        Long downloadId= manager.enqueue(request);

ok,Finish

You should probably use:

request.setDestinationInExternalFilesDir(context, DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, File.separator + folderName + File.separator + fileName);

Where request is your DownloadManager.Request This folder (sdcard/Android/data/your.app.package) is accessible to the user, but not visible in galleries (not scanned by media scanner), it's only accessible using file manager. Also, this folder will be deleted when your app gets deleted.

You can use internal storage path to save data internally and it will get deleted when your app will get uninstalled

String dir = getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath();
