Files downloading from an Android browser are not noticed by a tracker

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the Sailfish Browser
  2. Go to imgur.com, download a random image
  3. Go to the Gallery, observe how it properly picked up an image
  4. Open an browser running through the Android layer (I used Opera Mobile, downloaded from http://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/android/2200/Opera_22_1_Generic_Opera_ARMv7_LZMA.apk)
  5. Go to imgur.com again, download an image again
  6. Observe how a gallery is unaware of the new image

It's possible that the android_storage directory, or whatever's its name is not monitored by the tracker daemon. Another interesting fact is that both downloads show up in the notification area, but only the one from the Sailfish browser has a Transfer icon next to it.
