The download code that is used by the Android Market (and a few other system apps) is here: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/providers/DownloadProvider.git;a=summary=
Its primary interface to initiate downloads actually uses a content provider, not intents (though I have thought about adding an intent-based interface). For a variety of reasons, it can only be used for system applications (and it would take a fair bit of effort to fix that, though I'd like to see it eventually happen). Unfortunately, the code as it is doesn't compile with the SDK, because it uses APIs that aren't public at this point. You can still use it for inspiration, and of someone wants to make it SDK-compilable, please hop over to the android-framework mailing list and we'll discuss the details.
