Over on bug 1985252 we want to implement the download events for WebDriver BiDi as well for Android. But we are blocked because the module that we are using in Firefox (https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/rev/a5d7b5634b073a6b9e0d9f0f7df163d10cba478b/toolkit/components/downloads/Downloads.sys.mjs) is not used on Android.

Speaking with owlish on Slack it looks like that https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/mobile/android/components/geckoview/GeckoViewExternalAppService.cpp should get these events.

It would be great if you could help us getting those platform events implemented. Thanks!
