Solution

When using document handler to copy or move files, Media Gallery will also get a notification about the new content.

Create a copy of the new file in a temporary folder, and then move it to the correct location with CDocumentHandler::SilentMoveL(). For example:

    TDataType nullType;
    TInt ret = 0;       
    TRAPD( moveErr, ret = iDocHandler->SilentMoveL(
        _L("C:\\test_tmp.jpg"),
        _L("test.jpg"),
        PathInfo::PhoneMemoryRootPath(),
        nullType,
        KEntryAttNormal ) );
