To do this, you should use the MediaStore API

String yourImageFilename= String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()); //using this for simplicity

ContentValues cValues = new ContentValues();   
cValues.put(Images.Media.TITLE, yourImageFilename);
cValues.put(Images.Media.DATE_ADDED, System.currentTimeMillis()); 
cValues.put(Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg"); //your image type here, jpg for sample

Uri uri = context.getContentResolver().insert(Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);

try {

  OutputStream outStream = context.getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri);
  Url imageResource = new Url("your url string");
  Bitmap mBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageResource.openStream());

  mBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, outStream); //if you want to compress the jpg

  outStream.flush();
  outStream.close();

} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

I am assuming you mean in the local database(viewable by the gallery, if not then please edit your question to be more specific).
