Android media provider does not get recently added images

I want to fetch all the images in android device. Therefore I used this code to fetch images-
private fun getAllShownImagesPath(activity: Activity): ArrayList<String>
{
val uri: Uri = android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI
val listOfAllImages = ArrayList<String>()
var absolutePathOfImage : String
val projection = arrayOf(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, MediaStore.Images.Media.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME)
val orderBy = MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_ADDED
val cursor = activity.contentResolver.query(uri, projection, null, null, orderBy)
val indexData = cursor!!.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA)
cursor.moveToLast()
while (cursor.moveToPrevious())
{
absolutePathOfImage = cursor.getString(indexData)
listOfAllImages.add(absolutePathOfImage)
}
cursor.close()
return listOfAllImages
}
But this does not returns recently added images like if you downloaded it few hours ago.
This is somehow fixed when you reboot the device or the image you want to access is like one day old.
Note- you can also provide solution in java.
Thanks

Forcefully send broadcast then media cursor will be updated. call this before access media cursor
sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE,Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())));
