Abstract
A method for restarting a force stop mobile application is described. In one embodiment, the method may include establishing a connection with a first application installed on a mobile device and receiving a heartbeat signal from the first application via the established connection. Upon receiving the heartbeat signal, the method may include monitoring for subsequent heartbeat signals from the first application and determining a subsequent heartbeat from the first application is not received when expected. Upon determining the subsequent heartbeat from the first application is not received when expected, the method may include determining whether a second application related to the first application is running on the mobile device.
