But when i copy the image manually in the phone sdcard media scanning is running and i am able to show the images. My question is, is there any way to median scan the sdcard through coding?

Answer 1

This is working for me to scan the sdcard it is working in my mobile:

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

Answer 2

I think that this class may help you with what you're trying to do.

By calling scanFile you can ask to the scanner to check your newly created file.

Hope it helps.
