Android: download file from internet using DownloadManager and save it to the internal memory

Question

I am downloading a file from the web to my Android device using DownloadManager. I am saving this file on the sdcard using:

DownloadManager.Request req = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse("file path"));
req.setTitle("file title").setDescription("Downloading ....") // download the package at the /sdcard/download path.
.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, "file name"+ "file extension");

I want to save it to the internal storage. How to do that?
