Simply call this method to store your image to firebase.

 private void storeImageToFirebase() {
        BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inSampleSize = 8; // shrink it down otherwise we will use stupid amounts of memory
        Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(mCurrentPhotoUri.getPath(), options);
        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);
        byte[] bytes = baos.toByteArray();
        String base64Image = Base64.encodeToString(bytes, Base64.DEFAULT);
       //For the API less than 28 (Android version 8 )
       //String base64Image = android.util.Base64.encodeToString(bytes, android.util.Base64.DEFAULT);


        // we finally have our base64 string version of the image, save it.
        firebase.child("pic").setValue(base64Image);
        System.out.println("Stored image with length: " + bytes.length);
    }
