How to trigger media scanner programatically?

Question

I am writing a media player application. Implementing SDCard refresh option programatically.The following code is not working in KITKAT version to get newly added/renamed/deleted audio, video files.

sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED, 
        Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()))); 

Is there any solution for this problem.
