[Q] Downloads progress not showing on the notification bar

[ezezl75]

my downloads are not showing on the notification bar, but they do finish correctly, whenever I download an app from the play store or something from the web, the download progress is missing. what could it be? I'm running official 5.0.1

Hi there,
it seems that i have the same issue on my htc m8 after updating to lollipop 5.0.1
Anyone has an idea how to make progress of the download to be visible in the status bar?

I figured it out. What you need to do is just to go to settings > apps > all. find "download manager" and enable notifications. Hope this helps to others who have the same issue.

Solution to this

What can I see that you have disabled the download manager.You can enable it by going to Settings>Apps>Download Manager.
Or you can reset preferences in the app settings

Got it

Also can try Settings>Sound & Notification>Manage App Notifications>Chrome>and turn them on

I have the same problem on Samsung tab S2 9.7 after upgrading to android 7. I tried the solutions posted here but I still don't have the download icon on the status bar. Is there another fix?
