Programmatically Restart a React Native App

Is it possible to programmatically restart a React Native app without writing any native code?

For instance, I know from the answer to this question that I can restart an Android app with:

Intent i = getBaseContext().getPackageManager()         .getLaunchIntentForPackage( getBaseContext().getPackageName() );i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);startActivity(i);

Can I do the same with React Native?
