Three things you should consider:
1) Separate your application into foreground Activity (more likely
multiple Activities) and a Service
2) do the download with a worker thread (e.g. AsyncTask)
3) Read up on the PowerManager (in package android.os), in particular,
the WakeLock object; PARTIAL_WAKE_
Design your download process to explect the connection to be broken
(it's a moble or WiFi connection - they will break), and recover and
continue the download when the connection is resumed.
If your phone is turning off during the download search for "wakelock"
in the documentation.
