Answer 1

I know it's late but try this, it works in every version:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
    Intent mediaScanIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
    Uri contentUri = Uri.fromFile(out); // out is your output file
    mediaScanIntent.setData(contentUri);
    this.sendBroadcast(mediaScanIntent);
} else {
    sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED,
        Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())));
}
