In my application, I need to know if a particular app is being downloaded from the android market or not. How Do I achieve this functionality? Is it possible to get a list of all the downloads that are in progress?Does the android market broadcast any intents that can be caught?

Note:Since my target application is on android 3.0+ devices therefore, I have no issues with using the DownloadManager class(which is 2.3 onwards).

    I found an API that will accomplish what you want but you need to have an API of 9 or higher to use it. You can get all the downloads that have been requested for download from a download manager by using this:

    DownloadManager manager = (DownloadManager)getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
DownloadManager.Query query = new DownloadManager.Query();
Cursor c = manager.query(query);

    You can get more information on this here. I don’t think there are any other methods available that will give you this information at a lower API level.
