         Intent intent = new Intent();
       intent = getIntent();

       contactUri = intent.getData();
Uri src_uri = Uri.parse(contactUri.getPath());
   Uri dst_uri = Uri.parse("file:///mnt/sdcard/download/testing.pdf");
   DownloadManager.Request req = new DownloadManager.Request(src_uri);
   req.setDestinationUri(dst_uri);
   DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
   dm.enqueue(req);

or

dmr.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, fileName);
dmr.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
 dmr.setAllowedNetworkTypes(DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_WIFI | DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_MOBILE);
 DownloadManager manager = (DownloadManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
 manager.enqueue(dmr);

What I have tried:

i want to get the path of downloaded file or set it manually. Using above code will suddenly stop my app. I have include permisions in manifest also.

"Using above code will suddenly stop my app."

Where? Is an exception being thrown? Have you stepped through the code using the debugger?

Looks to me that you're calling your download manager in the wrong place.

Intent intent = new Intent();
       
intent = getIntent();

       
contactUri = intent.getData();
Uri src_uri = Uri.parse(contactUri.getPath()); 
Uri dst_uri = Uri.parse("file:///mnt/sdcard/download/testing.pdf");  
DownloadManager.Request req = new DownloadManager.Request(src_uri);
req.setDestinationUri(dst_uri);
DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
dm.enqueue(req);

try this:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent = getIntent();

       contactUri = intent.getData();
Uri src_uri = Uri.parse(contactUri.getPath());
   Uri dst_uri = Uri.parse("file:///mnt/sdcard/download/testing.pdf");
DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
DownloadManager.Request req = new DownloadManager.Request(src_uri);
req.setDestinationUri(dst_uri);
dm.enqueue(req);
