Cannot open a PDF or an image with Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW) and URI retrieved from DownloadManager's request in Android 4.4

I want to open a PDF file or an image with an intent from a URI which I retrieved from a DownloadManager's request. It works just fine on Android 5.0, but for whatever reason it does not work on 4.4 and below. Here is my code.

mDownloadManager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);    
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(
                        Uri.parse(mDownloadableUrl));
mEnqueue = mDownloadManager.enqueue(request);


mBroadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                String action = intent.getAction();
                if (DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE.equals(action)) {
                    DownloadManager.Query query = new DownloadManager.Query();
                    query.setFilterById(mEnqueue);
                    Cursor c = mDownloadManager.query(query);
                    if (c.moveToFirst()) {
                        int columnIndex = c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_STATUS);
                        if (DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL == c.getInt(columnIndex)) {
                            String uriString = c.getString(
                                    c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_LOCAL_URI));
                            LogUtils.LOGD(TAG, "downloaded a file in " + uriString);
                            mDocumentUri = Uri.parse(uriString);
                            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                                intent.setData(mDocumentUri);
                                startActivity(intent);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    c.close();
                }
            }
        };

 registerReceiver(mBroadcastReceiver,
            new IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE));

the core part really is the following where I initiate startActivity(intent) with an URI that is retrieved as shown above. Uri looks like content://downloads/my_downloads/774

It correctly downloads a file in Downloads which I can see and open a file from Downloads app. But when I try to open an Activity from the intent, the opened app shows an error that it cannot open the file.

The log below is one of the PDF applications that I tried to open the file but failed

I have android.permission.INTERNET permission in my manifest. The exact same code works just fine on Android 5.0; but when I run this on 4.4 and try to open a PDF file or image file with URI intent, then it fails.

This problem still occurs when I add WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions. Intent.setDataAndType(android.net.Uri, java.lang.String) with "application/pdf" did not help. I tried with intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION); that didn't help either. I am running out of ideas.

Do you see any issues?
