By using https://github.com/johnculviner/jquery.fileDownload js:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "/site/ajaxexcel.php", 
    data: {'value':'send'},
    cache: false,
    success: function(html)
        {
            $.fileDownload("ajaxheader.php",
            {
                successCallback: function (url) {
                    location.href = '';    
                },
                failCallback: function (responseHtml, url) {
                    alert('error');
                }
            });       
        }
});

And at php side add below line in headers:

header("Set-Cookie: fileDownload=true; path=/");
