Offer reboot after update

Right now user must manually reboot the phone, and if they don't they might get this:

Would be nice if XPrivacy would offer reboot when clicked on "Device restart required" in notification.

Unfortunately Android has no standard way to reboot your device. It is easy to reboot the device through Linux (when having root permissions), but what is often forgotten, is that you might lose data this way and even your storage devices (internal, SD card, etc) might get corrupt using this reboot method. For this reason I don't include such an option.

To illustrate: I reboot my device often this way and once in a while I have to do a clean install, because the internal storage was corrupted. This will happen to others too, often not thinking this is the problem, or resulting in complaints.

I see.
Do you kill all processes before the reboot?
Perhaps there is a way invoke a power menu, like by simulating power button press?

This is offtopic, but perhaps to fix the mess as per screenshot, XP should disable ondemand after update and block by default until rebooted?

Actually I think I have found a clean way to reboot through the power manager.
Formerly this was not possible, because only system applications can do that.
Since the new privacy service runs within Android itself, this is not an obstacle anymore.
With a little bit of trickery I have already a working proof of concept :-)

The on demand stuff doesn't know the app was update ...
