I have the following line 

sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.parse("file://" + fileOnDownload)));

Where fileOnDownload is the path of the file like this one:

/storage/emulated/0/Downloads/song.mp3

But sometimes when the broadcast is sent, it doesn't reload the MediaStore (on Android O at least)
You can see the full code here
I'm pretty new to Android MediaStore so don't be too rude, please :)

try this code : 

Intent intent = 
      new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
intent.setData(Uri.fromFile(file));
sendBroadcast(intent);

and if above code dose not work you can try using MediaScannerConnection !

here is a good tutorial :

  • I executed the code before making sure the file existed, that's why it worked sometimes – Dani Jun 11 '18 at 17:43
  • MediaScannerConnection should be preferred, according to other answers of similar questions - see here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5814533/997940, https://stackoverflow.com/a/19867466/997940 – Yoav Feuerstein Jan 29 '19 at 13:44
