Answer 1

Here I am answering my own question so that others can get benefit, I have resolved my problem by contacting Google support, As per there reply we only can use Expansion files feature after publish-Beta testing-Alpha testing , we can use in DRAFT mode as per new update.

So now anyone can use expansion except Draft mode.

And in Your You need to remove signature licecning code before Expansion dwonloading stasrts Also make sure your SHA key and your application should not be in Draft

I have remove below code from my app

try {
         PackageInfo info = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(
         "my pkg name",
        /// android.test.purchased
         PackageManager.GET_SIGNATURES);
         for (Signature signature : info.signatures) {
         MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA");
         md.update(signature.toByteArray());

         Base64.DEFAULT));
         Base64.DEFAULT));
         }
         } catch (NameNotFoundException e) {

         } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {

         }

Otherwise Expansion File will not Start Downloading...
