i tied everything then I found this perfect solution! You can apply this method for any file type (jpg, png,pdf, etc)

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

then

refreshGallery(newFileName);

newFIleName is a file path you can get your file path as

File newFileName = new File(filePath + "/" + fileName + ".jpg");
