Your problem is your drawing over and over on your entire canvas:

 final Canvas c = new Canvas (mBitmap); // creates a new canvas with your image is painted background
 c.drawColor(0, PorterDuff.Mode.CLEAR); // this makes your whole Canvas transparent
 canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);  // this makes it all white on another canvas
 canvas.drawBitmap (mBitmap, 0,  0,null); // this draws your bitmap on another canvas

Use logic roughly like this:

@Override
public void run() {

Canvas c = new Canvas(mBitmap);


/* Paint your things here, example: c.drawLine()... Beware c.drawColor will fill your canvas, so your bitmap will be cleared!!!*/
...

/* Now mBitmap will have both the original image & your painting */
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString(); // this is the sd card
OutputStream fOut = null;
File file = new File(path, "MyImage.jpg");
fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
mBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fOut);
fOut.flush();
fOut.close();
}

Also don't forget to add necessary permission to save your file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

outside <application></application> in your manifest file.
