Why does random download icon appear on the top of screen?

[CapitalJP]

A random downloads are active notification keeps on appearing at the top of the screen?

My phone(LG G4) seems to be slowing down when this happens.

My battery is also dying fast. It shows that the OS is using at least 40% of y battery.

Welcome to the forums. It could be some Google app (Play store, services ...) or system app updating in the background. Next time you see it swipe down from the status bar and there should be a notification related to that icon.

I have this problem and when I try to check what is downloading there is nothing there, it's making me rather paranoid.

Welcome to Android Central! Chances are that it's normal activity, like a Play Services library downloading an update in the background. No need to be paranoid.
