Here is the code:

private void createNoMedia() {
        final File nomedia = new File(getConversationsFileDirectory()+".nomedia");
        if (!nomedia.exists()) {
            try {
                nomedia.createNewFile();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.d(Config.LOGTAG, "could not create nomedia file");
            }
        }
    }

public static String getConversationsFileDirectory() {
        return  Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/YourFolder/";
    }

Try this.

  1. Download a image file using your application instead of using default download manager API.
  2. Save a file with a different extension which is not jpg or png or any other image ext.
  3. Only your app can understand the extension and display it as a image.
