Google Gmail Inbox has check whether the DownloadManager is been disabled,if true then show an AlertDialog to tell user to enable the DownloadManager in Settings.The screenshot show below:

I wrote a class called DownloadManagerResolver to fix this,hope this can help your.:)

public final class DownloadManagerResolver {

private static final String DOWNLOAD_MANAGER_PACKAGE_NAME = "com.android.providers.downloads";

/**
 * Resolve whether the DownloadManager is enable in current devices.
 *
 * @return true if DownloadManager is enable,false otherwise.
 */
public static boolean resolve(Context context) {
    boolean enable = resolveEnable(context);
    if (!enable) {
        AlertDialog alertDialog = createDialog(context);
        alertDialog.show();
    }
    return enable;
}

/**
 * Resolve whether the DownloadManager is enable in current devices.
 *
 * @param context
 * @return true if DownloadManager is enable,false otherwise.
 */
private static boolean resolveEnable(Context context) {
    int state = context.getPackageManager()
            .getApplicationEnabledSetting(DOWNLOAD_MANAGER_PACKAGE_NAME);

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2) {
        return !(state == PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED ||
                state == PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED_USER
                || state == PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED_UNTIL_USED);
    } else {
        return !(state == PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED ||
                state == PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED_USER);
    }
}

private static AlertDialog createDialog(final Context context) {
    AppCompatTextView messageTextView = new AppCompatTextView(context);
    messageTextView.setTextSize(16f);
    messageTextView.setText("DownloadManager is disabled. Please enable it.");
    return new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
            .setView(messageTextView, 50, 30, 50, 30)
            .setPositiveButton("ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    enableDownloadManager(context);
                }
            })
            .setCancelable(false)
            .create();
}

/**
 * Start activity to Settings to enable DownloadManager.
 */
private static void enableDownloadManager(Context context) {
    try {
        //Open the specific App Info page:
        Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
        intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + DOWNLOAD_MANAGER_PACKAGE_NAME));
        context.startActivity(intent);
    } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();

        //Open the generic Apps page:
        Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_APPLICATIONS_SETTINGS);
        context.startActivity(intent);
    }
}
}
