Send Reboot Command to phone via Android Code

Question

I have a receiver which listens for shutdown intent.

The moment it receives that, i want the phone to restart instead of shutting down.

I have a rooted phone. Is it possible to send Linux commands like "su " & "reboot" when shutdown signal is received.

You can try this code:

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(new String[] { "su", "-c", "/system/bin/reboot" });
Process process = pb.start();
process.waitFor();

I did this with one of my Android application. However I use Root Tools to issue the command. Here is the snippet:

getShell(true).add(new CommandCapture(1, "reboot"));

I chose to use Root Tools as it will handle all actions related to su. The full class can be found at my github.
