You've connected your phone via MTP and drag a file directly from the phone to JOSM. I do not see a way JOSM could ever support this way. It's an issue of the file manager or Java, respectively, passing the mtp:// URI to the application.

As workaround, you have to copy the GPX file to your computer.
