How to shut down / reboot android phone from an application?

[RadhaRavi Kiran]

Hi All,

I am a newbie to android, i am writing an application to install an application, which after installation needs a reboot of the device.

but when i am sending a broadcast with ACTION_REBOOT, i am getting a SecurityException : Permission Denial : ---- pid: xxx uid: xxx.

I have mentioned uses-permission for REBOOT in the Manifest file.

If anybody have an idea, Please let me know.

Thanks
Kiran
