You just need to send an broadcast "ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE" so that the mediascanner can scan for the image you saved.

 Intent mediaScanIntent = new Intent( Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
 mediaScanIntent.setData(uri);
 sendBroadcast(mediaScanIntent);

just set the uri of the the newly created image. :)
