            InputStream in = c.getInputStream();
            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int len1 = 0;
            while ((len1 = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                f.write(buffer, 0, len1);
            }
            f.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {

First get Url from database then parse it in to URI and paste video uri in to DownloadManger constructor . I am retriving URL from firebase database with help to onComplete listiner.

 viewHolder.ll_download.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(View v) {

                                final String vdoUri = task.getResult().toString();

                                try {
                                    DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(vdoUri));
                                    request.setDescription("download");
                                    request.setTitle(itemlist.get(position).getFile_name());

                                    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
                                        request.allowScanningByMediaScanner();
                                        request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
                                    }
                                    request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, ""+itemlist.get(position).getFile_name()+".mp4");
                                    DownloadManager manager = (DownloadManager) context.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
                                    manager.enqueue(request);
                                }

                                catch (Exception ex) {

                                }


                            }
                        });

                URL url = new URL(mp4url);


                //Open a connection to that URL.
                HttpsURLConnection  con = (HttpsURLConnection) 

                 int response =con.getResponseCode();


                InputStream is = con.getInputStream();
                BufferedInputStream inStream = new BufferedInputStream(is, 1024 * 5);
                FileOutputStream outStream = new FileOutputStream(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + "mnt/sdcard/17.mp4"));
                byte[] buff = new byte[7 * 1024];

                 int len;
                while ((len = inStream.read(buff)) != -1)
                {
                    outStream.write(buff,0,len);
                }
                //clean up
                outStream.flush();
                outStream.close();
                inStream.close();
