I am not sure about the exact reason but I feel it was because of mishandling of partial wakelock. Like your app, I had a service which remained active all time and for that I had to hold on to the wakelock. The phone did not restart if I commented out my wakelock code. Interesting thing is it never restarted untill I tried to change call forward setting or use car navigator app (thankfully, this was observed when we tested the app for any kind of conflicts) .Then I realised that I should not hold on to the wakelock for long, to avoid conflicts. When I went the AlarmManager way all conflicts vanished. Are you holding on to wakelock? If you are, you may try commenting out that part and keep your app active until download is complete so that you don't loose network connection. Just perform few tests with the wakelock thing hopefully you should get the answer. You may have to split your file download into batches so that you can release the wakelock.
