Using MediaScannerConnection , it is possible to find the new mp3 .This service wants to binds the client service that means your connection.(You have to forcibily scan the file..) .For more information look here.

     private MediaScannerConnection conn;
            private String newFilePath = "New File Path";

            conn = new MediaScannerConnection(this,
                    new MediaScannerConnection.MediaScannerConnectionClient() {

                        @Override
                        public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
                            if (path.equals(newFilePath)) {
                                Log.i("Scan Status", "Completed");
 conn.disconnect();
                            }
                        }
                        @Override
                        public void onMediaScannerConnected() {
                            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                                              conn.scanFile("path of the new file", null);

                        }
                    });
            conn.connect();
