It looks like an activity with manifest permission
"android.permission.REBOOT"
CANNOT initiate the intent" android.intent.action.REBOOT", due to to
permissions and the documents say, to be used by system code only.

Is there way to group an activity to be run in an appropriate process
so that it will REBOOT.

It's not about processes, you must need to sign your .apk with the platform certificate.

Found the following in my build structure ..
../build/target/product/security/media.x509.pem
../build/target/product/security/platform.x509.pem
../build/target/product/security/shared.x509.pem
../build/target/product/security/testkey.x509.pem

I believe you are referring to platform.x509.pem. Is that right ?

Yes but you just have to put this in your makefile:

LOCAL_CERTIFICATE := platform
