Hi guys, since I downloaded several wallpapers via chrome yesterday, I noticed that no matter how many times I cleared the "download complete" notifications, they would still appear again. Even just after I rebooted the device; and moreover, I also cleared the data of "download" and "chrome", they still appears anyhow!
Anyone has any idea what the problem is? Thanks in advanced.

I may just find the solution: I should clear the data of "download manager", not the "download". It seems ok now.

or you could just clear notifications and it will clear that
I had this same problem twice, but thought it was bug of ROM and installed another one :silly:
i had the same problem on 4.2. force stop and clear data of download manager in all apps did the job until i dloaded more files. turns out it was because i frooze download manager from starting up in system tuner app. i allowed it to start and problem was fixed.
however, touching the dloaded file from the notification bar does nothing. going into the download app and selecting the file leads me to ":/downloads/all_downloads does not exist" error. you actually have to go into root explorer or your file manager to open the file.
i do not like 4.2, at all. it's buggy as hell. i about to restore my 4.1.2 rom.

Guys,what the hell!
i hate this, i cannot download any applications. I did everything according to this, which helped various people.
1. go to your settings
2. select "applications"
3. then select "manage applications"
4. press menu and select "filter" then "All"
5. scroll down to:
a) "Checkin Service" then select "clear data"
b) "Download Manager" then select "clear data"
c) "Google Apps" then "clear data"
d) "Google Talk Service" then select "clear data"
e) " Market" then select "clear cache"
It did not work for me.
Do u have any other ideas>?
Were you using wifi?
If you were turn it off then back on again. If that does not work turn phone off and on.
got the same problem a month back
very crude solution:
i solved it through factory reset and formatting the memory stick
havent had the problerm since
Happens to me all the time with wifi. 3G data works ok.
I've got the same problem since yesterday I think. Can't update or install anything, it never starts downloading.

i tried it. pressed again and again about 10-15 times,did not help. i think i will reformat my sd card when i have time, will check whether it will help. but i have to admit that this is very annoying
Did it used to work? If not then the port is maybe closed on the connection you are using. Try wifi if you are using data or vice versa.

I had the same.
Not got the info in front of me now but I think it was solved by turning off, removing the sdcard, booting and then turning off and inserting the card.
Something along those lines, hard reset defiantly not needed.

it was working. i will try to use another hotspot. also tried the 3G connection, did not work. so i guess it;s not about the connection
Just remove some app, because your system partition is full. Remove all apps, run ModInstallation, so that next app will be install in your sd card. I tried this and it work well.

I got my desire the other day and had this same problem and i read somewhere that taking out the battery AND the sim card then putting them back in and turning the phone on would solve the problem.
I tried this and it did work. As soon as it turned back on i went into the market and was able to download and install apps.
(using Desire with stock Orange 2.1 rom)
I seem to be having a problem with clearing my Status Bar>Notifications.
I know the Clear button is right there in the top-right corner of the the list. I hit it, the list appears to be blank. But when I go to Market, or if I download any files, the whole list comes back and all the old items are still on there.
Why won't that old stuff actually Clear?
Is this list "saved" somewhere, like in a file?
UPDATE: Solution is to Clear Data for the Download Manager app.
credit:dfs_
(Desktop) Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>(Tab) All>
(scroll down and choose Download Manager)
Click [Clear data]
Reboot?????
You need a reboot. Happened with me too, particularly when you install lots of apps.
Reboot doesn't work
Thanks for the suggestion, but I actually already tried that. It did not help.
Any other ideas? I'm not an Android Ninja, but I could manage something a little more technical than Reboot. Happy to provide any other debugging info that would be useful
are you rooted?
if so, go into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and reboot.
I am rooted, and I have already tried wiping the Dalvik Cache (through CWM).
That also didn't work.
you tried to remove the battery for a few seconds?
edit: clear the download manager app data
SOLVED
It's been a while, but...
I just checked in on this thread again to see if anyone had come up with a solution to my continually nagging problem.

That does in fact seem to have worked, thanks! I don't know the exact "cause" of this problem, but at least here is a perfectly good work-around.
Perhaps this will helps someone else. If I ever figure out anything more about WHY, I'll post it here and be sure to post it here, as well as passing it along to the appropriate Devs (Cyanogen, or whomever).
As a bit of additional diagnostic info, when I Install or Update Apps from the Market, I can download them just fine, and they install fine too, but the Market app status gets stuck on "Installing..." with a gray scrolling bar. The Notifications indicate that the process is complete. Not sure if this is in any way related.
I cannot download anything from Market, either new or updates - just stays on 'Starting Download'. No problem with connection or browsing Market. On stock 2.51 ROM. I removed the following apps (but don't see how they would affect the Market)
AmazonMP3
GoogleTalkService
GoogleTalkStorage
ESMusica
HipHopOfficial
RevolverTV
TrueCountry

Are you downloading using wifi , new owners are told to do the initial market setup first download using 3G, and then wifi download should work ok, also make sure your using @gmail.com and not @googlemail.com for your email address.
Also i have heard that clearing the market cache in the built in android task manger can help if the above does not work.

Removing the ones I highlighted was your mistake. Never remove core Google apps.
@ccav2000
Thanks. Found and reinstalled the 2 apk's and all back to normal.
I had backed up with Titanium, but for some reason it only (seemed) backed up the data not the app. I can't work out how to back up the apk.

Hi, I also did the same mistake and now I cannot download or update anything on the market, could you tell me where to download the 2 apk's?
Everytime I start a download it says 'downloading' for a few seconds and then says 'download paused' and remains there.
This issue is on wifi only, and happened out of the blue yesterday. On my 3g data connection the apps download just fine.
I tried a lot of methods like clearing cache and all but nothing worked.
What can I do?
1. Goto Settings -> Application -> Managed application
Set filter: All (default is Downloaded)
Select Download Manager and Clear data
2.Disable (uncheck) Settings -> Data manager -> Data saver
3. Logout and login Google Talk
I did all that but it still didn't work

Maybe ur settings are set where it disconnects wifi when the light go off... try changing battery profile to performance... in the battery manager...
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
wow setting the battery to performance mode worked! thanks a lot!
strange though, my battery had always been on battery saver mode and apps used to download, i wonder what happened
the apps did not download even when the wifi was still connected, it said 'download paused' after a few seconds itself
Market downloads paused again on wifi since yesterday! What is happening?!

I was downloading a word document (.docx) from Gmail and the download has become stuck in my notification dropdown. The download has completed - progress bar is complete and the document can be viewed in downloads.
To resolve this I have attempted to clear the notification, delete the document from my phone, restart the phone, restart the phone including a battery pull, clearing the market cache (suggested from another site), and looking through the files on the phone on my computer in an attempt to find some type of temp notification bar file that I could just delete to no avail.
Does anyone know of a way to remove a notification manually from this phone? I really can't think of anything else to do.
Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.
Anyone?
Also, I'm running stock 4.0.2.
Have you tried deleting the entry from the Downloads App?
Yeah, thats what i meant by deleting it from the phone. Thanks.
Have you tried clearing the data from the download manager and/or downloads? Apps>filter:all download manager/downloads and clear data. See if that works.

Thats what I was looking for. Thanks!
I think it works the same way as a pending download that wont go away. I normally just clear the cache in the settings than exit out the app and it clears on my notification bar.

Go to download manager in app drawer, select the document that stucks at downloading, press the trash icon, profit.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?

I am using Galaxy S2 by the way. There is this stock app called "Downloads" if thats what you mean by the download manager. There is no file shown here. So I cant trash it.
I had MD4 de-odexed. Flashed to MK3 odexed as mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910947&page=745
Now, every so often, I get the little "down arrow with a line under it" notifications in my notification area. There are about 20 files that I had downloaded prior to my upgrade. A long time ago, I moved those files off of my sdcard/main memory to my external SD card.
When I pull the notification bar down, it lists the files (e.g., 'dollar.jpg') and says "download complete". But when I click on it and choose an app to complete the action (e.g., "Gallery"), it says "unable to find item" and exits.
How do I get the notifications to stop popping up? Do I need to copy those files back to internal memory and move them back to the external card again?
Edit: new files are being stored in "storage/emulated/0/download". I forgot to mention that a few months ago, I installed "Link2SD" to free up some internal memory on my 16GB Galaxy S3. Maybe that's the problem...
Just wipe data on the two Downloads applications in Settings > Applications ,> All

Sorry... Where?
I go to Settings. I don't see "Applications", but I see "Application Manager", is that it? I don't think it is 'cause I don't see "All".
Is that in TWRP somewhere?
Edit: I guess you *did* mean that. I scrolled to the right in App Manager and found "All". I went to both Download apps and wiped data. Rebooting now... Thx.
