image not displaying when taking picture from 3rd party camera apps

I have a simple module of working with the camera. When I use the default camera (in-built camera) it is displaying the thumbnail as required. Anyhow when I use 3rd party camera apps(like candycamera, retrica etc) by using packageManager to take a picture, it doesn't show the thumbnail. it crashes sometimes. I have tried every code within my limits to check that the thumbnail is being displayed but cannot find any relevant solution Help is appreciated Thanks

in onCreate()

private void dispatchPicIntent() {

    Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, CAMERA_CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE );
    }
}

in onActivityResult()

String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());

        pictureFile = new File(Environment
                .getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
                        Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)
                .getAbsolutePath()
                + File.separator + "IMG_" + timeStamp);

        try {
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(
                    pictureFile);
            Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
            Bitmap bm = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
            bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, fos);
            fos.close();
            filePath = pictureFile.getAbsolutePath();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
