When you are starting the ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE you can pass an extra MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT as the URI of the file where you want to save the picture.

Here is a simple example:

   File file = new File(path);
   Uri outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile(file);

   Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
   intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);

   startActivityForResult(intent, TAKE_PICTURE); 

EDIT: I just tried on my device and file.createNewFile() solved the problem for me.
