As BalusC said, Refresh/navigate current page and opening downloading file are two different responses, there must be two resquests. I encountered a similar problem. I solved it with jsf ajax successfully.

Javascript:

function checkCallBack(data) {
    var ajaxStatus = data.status;
    switch (ajaxStatus) {
    case "begin":
        break;
    case "complete":
        break;
    case "success":
        document.getElementById('download-form:download-button2').click();
        break;
    }
}

download-button renders a message area on page and download-button2 triggers a download method. they are two different requests. When the first request completed, the second request will be triggered.
