You can use this snippet

    AlertDialog.Builder builder=new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    builder.setMessage("How you want to download this file?")
            .setCancelable(false)
            .setPositiveButton("Use webView",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int id){

                    //your code here for download manager
                    webView.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener(){
                        @Override
                        public void onDownloadStart(String url,String userAgent,
                                                    String contentDisposition,String mimeType,
                                                    long contentLength){
                            DownloadManager.Request request=new DownloadManager.Request(
                                    Uri.parse(url));
                            request.setMimeType(mimeType);
                            String cookies= CookieManager.getInstance().getCookie(url);
                            request.addRequestHeader("cookie",cookies);
                            request.addRequestHeader("User-Agent",userAgent);
                            request.setDescription("Downloading file...");
                            request.setTitle(URLUtil.guessFileName(url,contentDisposition,
                                    mimeType));
                            request.allowScanningByMediaScanner();
                            request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
                            request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(
                                    Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS,URLUtil.guessFileName(
                                            url,contentDisposition,mimeType));
                            DownloadManager dm=(DownloadManager)getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
                            dm.enqueue(request);
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Downloading File",
                                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();} });
                    dismiss();}})
            .setNegativeButton("3rd Party App",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int id){

                    // download via...
                    webView.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener(){

                        public void onDownloadStart(String url,String userAgent,
                                                    String contentDisposition,String mimetype,
                                                    long contentLength){
                            Intent i=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                            i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
                            startActivity(i);
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"don't choose our app as it can't handle download intents, i have posted a question on stackoverflow though.",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); }});dialog.cancel();} });
    AlertDialog alert=builder.create();
    alert.show();

This is snippet i have added that will show you two options like you want just put your logic in button's on click method.

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage("How you want to download?")
   .setCancelable(false)
   .setPositiveButton("By web", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
       public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
            //use logic of downloading with web view here
            dialog.cancel();
       }
   })
   .setNegativeButton("Use third party tool", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
       public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
            //use logic of third party tool here
            dialog.cancel();
       }
   });
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
