Restart Android application using shell script

I'm trying to restart an application (com.android.snapchat) through am command.



My code to start the application is



am start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.MAIN 

                  -n com.android.snapchat/.MainActivity


The above starts the snapchat application. However, my program flow is to achieve this:



while true

if(snapchat is running)

then

    restart snapchat

    ...

else

    start snapchat

    ....


How can I do this using am command itself?






android shell scripting

    For restarting the app, you might try to stop it first with adb shell am force-stop com.android.snapchat and then start it again.
