What i am gonna write is not good practice to do code but it may full-fill your requirement

  • capture image as you do with normally using android default camera .
  • check the path of that image which just now captured .
  • reduce quality of that image as per requirement using BitmapFactory.Options calss and store in bitmap object
  • delete that original image which captured by default camera
  • save that bitmap object to SD Card where old image was located with same file name and path
