If I understood you correctly you just need to implement the OnScanCompletedListener.

If not, add some code to clarify your question.

So if you want to know when the media scanner is done you have to register BroadcastReceiver which will listen for ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_FINISHED. Here is good presentation that gives good explanation of Intent, IntentFilter and BroadcastReceiver.

I use this code:)

while(!Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)){
                System.out.println("wait sdcard mount.");
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(5000);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
