Simple plugin that lets you exit or restart an android process using android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());. Restarts happen using PendingIntent.
Useful where navigator.app.exitApp(); might not work. Also useful if your app needs to reset and start from the Initial Activity.
$ cordova create hello com.example.helloapp Hello
$ cd hello
