I propose using getPixels and setPixels so that you can manipulate the array directly. I haven't run this, but it should give you the idea:
bmOut.getPixels(pixels, 0, width, 0, 0, width, height);
// scan through all pixels
for(int i = 0; i < width * height; i++) {
// get pixel color
// pixel = src.getPixel(x, y);
pixel = pixels[i];
A = Color.alpha(pixel);
// apply filter contrast for every channel R, G, B
R = Color.red(pixel);
R = (int)(((((R / 255.0) - 0.5) * contrast) + 0.5) * 255.0);
if(R < 0) { R = 0; }
else if(R > 255) { R = 255; }
G = Color.green(pixel);
G = (int)(((((G / 255.0) - 0.5) * contrast) + 0.5) * 255.0);
if(G < 0) { G = 0; }
else if(G > 255) { G = 255; }
B = Color.blue(pixel);
B = (int)(((((B / 255.0) - 0.5) * contrast) + 0.5) * 255.0);
if(B < 0) { B = 0; }
else if(B > 255) { B = 255; }
// set new pixel color to output bitmap
pixels[i] = Color.argb(A, R, G, B);
}
bmOut.setPixels(pixels, 0, width, 0, 0, width, height);
