Actually its not a public API of DownloadManager. DownloadProvider documentation <https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/providers/DownloadProvider/+/android-6.0.1_r26/docs/index.html> ( and platform code <https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/core/java/android/provider/Downloads.java>) clearly indicates that COLUMN_CONTROL is for pausing and resuming from Apps.
And on setting COLUMN_CONTROL to CONTROL_PAUSED (1) leads to pausing ( initially that column is null when I read it before setting it to CONTROL_PAUSED) . And after that, I see that after sometime COLUMN_STATUS is set to STATUS_PAUSED_BY_APP Also COLUMN_CURRENT_BYTES stops updating, so that indicates that pausing works. Next when I want to resume, I set COLUMN_CONTROL to CONTROL_RUN. But it stays in that state, without getting resumed.
