Simply use MediaScannerConnection after you saved your bitmap to sd:

MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this,
                new String[] { Bitmapfile.getAbsolutePath() }, null,
                new MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener() {
                    public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
                        //now visible in gallery
                    }
                }
            );
