At first you need to create a file and save image on it and here's a code.

//method to save image in internal or external storage

private void storeImage(Bitmap image,String imageName) {
    File pictureFile = getOutputMediaFile(imageName);
    if (pictureFile == null) {
        Log.d(TAG,"Error creating media file, check storage permissions: ");// e.getMessage());
        return;
    } 
    try {
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(pictureFile);
        image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, fos);
        fos.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        Log.d(TAG, "File not found: " + e.getMessage());
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Error accessing file: " + e.getMessage());
    }  
}

//method to create file to save image on it

private  File getOutputMediaFile(String imageName){
    //create folder with name FoursquareAPI
    File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
            + "/FoursquareAPI");

    // Create the storage directory if it does not exist
    if (! mediaStorageDir.exists()){
        if (! mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()){
            return null;
        }
    } 
    File mediaFile;
        String mImageName= imageName +".png";
        mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator + mImageName);  
    return mediaFile;
}
