Verifying downloads wit Appium for Android devices

I'm automating some Android and iOS test scenarios using Appium (java). The following scenario came across.

When using Android. Within the app I click on a link. This link is a pdf file. The link navigates me outside of the app to the Android browser and the PDF file will be downloaded.

When conducting the scenario on iOS the PDF will be displayed in the browser itself, I then can validate the link in order to assess if I am on the right link. For android however this is not the case since it downloads the PDF instead of displaying it. Is there some way to asses the same for Android?

Thanks for the help,
