Getting a different MD5 check sum for the same file which is saved in different folder

Question

I'm trying to download .apk files from the android emulator and calculate it's md5 check sum.I made an interesting observation here!!

Everytime i download a .apk file into the same folder the md5 check sum value remains the same.

When I download the same .apk file to a different folder the md5 check sum value changes.

Can I conclude by saying that md5 check sum of a file depends on the location of where the file is stored??
