Failed to create new java File for path /storage/emulated/0/

I'm tying to download a file to the folder on my external storage. So, initially there will be no folder & hence, I need to create a folder if its not there and save my file in it.

try {
                console.log('Download Started');
                var directory = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath().toString();
                var file = fs.path.join(directory, "/myfolder/" + this.pdf_url.split("/").pop());
                var folder = fs.Folder.fromPath(file).toString();
                var url = this.pdf_url;

                httpModule.getFile(url, file).then(function(r) {
                    console.log(r);
                }, function(e) {
                    console.log(e);
                });
            } catch (error) {
                console.log("--error");
                console.log(error);
            }

Thats all, I'm getting this as OUTPUT

JS: Download Started
JS: --error
JS: Failed to create new java File for path /storage/emulated/0/akavya/2014.pdf

This is my Manifest file

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

I faced Similar issue, and i solved it by 

const documents = fileSystemModule.knownFolders.documents();
                documents._path = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
                const folder = documents.getFolder('abcde');
                var file = fileSystemModule.path.join(folder._path, this.pdf_url.split("/").pop());
                var url = this.pdf_url;

                console.log("---folder");
                console.log(folder);
                console.log(file);
                console.log(url);
