Answer 1

You would be better off using the DownloadManager . You can see example code by Lars Vogel here

The relevant bit:

DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
        Request request = new Request(
                Uri.parse("http://www.vogella.de/img/lars/LarsVogelArticle7.png"));
        enqueue = dm.enqueue(request);

Note that DownloadManager is available on API version 9 (Android 2.3, Gingerbread) and upwards.

Answer 2

You can put this in your download.php file

 <?php
     $file = $_GET['file'];
     header ("Content-type: octet/stream");
     header ("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$file.";");
     header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
     readfile($file);
     exit;
   ?>

and then:

 Uri.parse("direct_download.php?file=filename.mp3");
