How to trigger Issue Update event?

Question

I want the recording, updating of change histroy and issue update event to trigger for any change in the custom fields of an issue through a single API call. Currently I am able to record, update the change histroy but issue update is not getting triggered. shown below is

1) The piece of code i have tried with

Map modifiedFields = issue.getModifiedFields();
        DefaultIssueChangeHolder issueChangeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder();
        for (Iterator iterator = modifiedFields.keySet().iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) 
        {
            String fieldId = (String) iterator.next();
            FieldManager fieldManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getFieldManager();
            if (fieldManager.isOrderableField(fieldId)) 
            {
                OrderableField field = fieldManager.getOrderableField(fieldId);
                FieldLayoutItem fieldLayoutItem;
                try 
                {
                    fieldLayoutItem = ComponentManager.getInstance().getFieldLayoutManager().
                                                    getFieldLayout(issue.getGenericValue()).getFieldLayoutItem(field);
                    final ModifiedValue modifiedValue = (ModifiedValue) modifiedFields.get(fieldId);
                    field.updateValue(fieldLayoutItem, issue, modifiedValue, issueChangeHolder);
                } 
                catch (FieldLayoutStorageException e) 
                {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                }

}
        }

2) other piece of code I tried is

public void updateIssue(MutableIssue issueObject, OperationContext operationContext, User user, ErrorCollection errors, I18nHelper i18n)
        throws RemoteException
    {
        try
        {
            webwork.dispatcher.ActionResult aResult = updateFieldsHelperBean.updateIssue(issueObject, operationContext, user, errors, i18n);
            ActionUtils.checkForErrors(aResult);
        }
        catch(Throwable e)
        {
            log.error((new StringBuilder()).append("Exception occurred editing issue: ").append(e).toString(), e);
            throw new RemoteException((new StringBuilder()).append("Error occurred editing issue: ").append(errors.getErrors()).append(" ").append(errors.getErrorMessages()).toString(), e);
        }
    }

No it's neither run under post-function nor listener. We have developed a tool which imports data available in excel file and the code is run under Import functionality. Re-indexing(indexing) is happening properly. Presently to trigger the Issue update event we are calling the below code

public void fn_TriggerIssueUpdateEvent(MutableIssue issue)
    {   
        HashMap params = new HashMap(); 
        params.put("baseurl", ManagerFactory.getApplicationProperties().getString(APKeys.JIRA_BASEURL));
        //prevent a mail from being generated
        params.put("dispatchEvent", new Boolean(false));
        Long evtTypeId=Long.valueOf(2);
        EventType event = ComponentManager.getInstance().getEventTypeManager().getEventType( evtTypeId );
        IssueEvent issueEvent = new IssueEvent( issue, params, u, event.getId() );
        IssueEventDispatcher.dispatchEvent( issueEvent );
    }

We want to avoid calling the above function every time the custom field is updated and hence are looking for an alternative.
