Use getFilesDir() for that.

From the docs:

Returns the absolute path to the directory on the filesystem where files created with openFileOutput(String, int) are stored.

No permissions are required to read or write to the returned path, since this path is internal storage.

To answer your comment, I'll quote the docs docs:

By default, files saved to the internal storage are private to your application and other applications cannot access them (and the user only can access as root). When the user uninstalls your application, these files are removed.

You can use this:

File f = new File(Environment.getDataDirectory(), "subdir");

public  File createDir() {
         FIle DIR=null;
         if (android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED))
                DIR=new File(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+DIRNAME);
            else
                DIR=context.getCacheDir();
            if(!DIR.exists())
                DIR.mkdirs();
            return DIR;  
    }

This one i m using in one of my application and which creates the directory in external if it is mounted or not exists it will create in internal storage
