How to run media scanner service manually

Hi, i use a flow to upload all taken pictures from the phones of my family to my server each evening, and sort them in a folder with year, month. After this the pictures on the phones standard dcim directory are moved to a 'save2remove'folder.

This works great, but after moving pictures, they are marked as defect in gallery app on phone - of course they aren't there where they was. They are moved and the even the moved files aren't visible in the other folder yet in gallery apps.

An service that i believe it's name is media scanner runs every time a phone is restartet (or scheduled?!)

My question: is it possible to run this media scanner service via automagic in my flow?
