I know i am a little late to answer this but i guess for anyone else reading this the answer given by surendra is right and that using the MediaScannerConnection is a way to update the gallery. As for the way nevva was suggesting the changes to his code are :

    getApplicationContext().sendBroadcast(mediaScanIntent);
