    var recInterval = setInterval(function() {
        recTime = recTime + 1;
        setAudioPosition(recTime + " sec");
        if (recTime >= 10) {

Try this

var filepath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath();     
File file = new File(filepath,<directoryName>);        
var src=file.getAbsolutePath()+""myrecording.amr"

Your file will be created inside <directoryName>

My guess that it's created in your Android app home directory, since you are using relative path.

You can check here how to find your home directory: Android Get Application's 'Home' Data Directory

However, I agree with Mukund. It's much better to specify absolute path in this case.

If you do not specify a path then the Media.startRecord() method will default to putting your file at the location specified by Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(). Check for it in /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard.

you can find it in the sdcard and the path will be:

"/sdcard/myrecording.amr"
