Tested the issue using 61.0.3163.98 on Android 7.0.0; SM-J710F Build/NRD90M and could not reproduce the issue.

Steps Followed:
1. Opened Link from Gmail
2. Link redirected and opened in Chrome
3. Able to download the file without any tab crash

@ajay: Could you please clear cache and browsing data and check the issue? also add details of your device and if possible attach a screencast for further triaging.

Thanks!!

This doesn't look like a crash.  It looks like we're closing the tab after deciding it's a download.  Was the APK that showed up in your downloads home the right one?  I am surprised there was no notification about the download in particular though.  Are download notifications disabled?

Will try to reproduce locally.  jming@ can you ptal?
@Dtrainor, No that APK in my download list was not the right one. I showed there that there is no apk in my download list after clicking the link and not even any notification regarding downloading the apk. And I did not disable the download notification. Not only me facing the same problem but many of my friends and on different phones.
Thanks

Min can you take a look?  The download might be getting queued behind some blocker and we rely on an infobar to unblock (which goes away if the tab is closed?).
