Just use the default android resource android.R.drawable.stat_sys_download for this.

Works great but I needed to add `setTicker("")` for the animation to play. Credit goes to [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/15311161/1276636). – Sufian Mar 04 '15 at 13:13

I have done with this `mBuilder.setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.stat_sys_download_done);` – Pratik Butani May 10 '15 at 17:12

Here's a fully functioning example that will show the default "system" download notification icon in the status bar.

private static void showProgressNotification(Context context, int notificationId, String title, String message)
{
    NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);

    mBuilder.setContentTitle(title)
    .setContentText(message)
    .setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.stat_sys_download)
    .setTicker("")
    .setProgress(0, 0, true);

    manager.notify(notificationId, mBuilder.build());
}

And when your "download" operation is done, clear the notification:

private static void hideProgressNotification(final NotificationManager manager, final Context context, final int id)
{
    manager.cancel(id);
}

Take a look to Android Download Manager. It shows a notification icon indicating that there are files downloading. Android Download Manager
