Get updated post meta on post_updated action

I am trying to get the submitted post meta on the post_updated action via the function get_post_meta().

However it only returns the old metadata, before I clicked the "Save" button. Probably because the new meta wasn't saved to the database yet.

Is there any way to get the new metadata inside the getMeta function below?

add_action('post_updated', 'getMeta', 10, 1);

function getMeta($post_id) {
    if($post->post_status != 'trash'){

        $meta = get_post_meta($post_id);

        echo '<pre>'; print_r($meta); echo '</pre>';
    }
}

Thanks!

Edit: I have to use the post_updated action for other operations, which aren't displayed in the above code example. So using an other action is unfortunately not an option :(

You're hooking to wrong action, try something like

add_action('updated_postmeta', 'getMeta', 10, 4);

function getMeta($meta_id, $object_id, $meta_key, $meta_value) 
{
    if($post->post_status != 'trash')
    {
       // do you magic here   
    }
}
