React native reload bundle programmatically

Question

I want to develop a react native app. But js files aren't on my local machine. I will download bundle from remote server.

Below code works for now. But how can I reload js bundle from file path?

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
    public static String mBundleFilePath = "sdcard/Download/index.android.bundle";

    public final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost = new ReactNativeHost(this) {
        @Override
        public boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {
            return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
        }

        @Override
        protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
            return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
              new MainReactPackage()
            );
        }

        @Override
        protected String getJSMainModuleName() {
            return "index";
        }
        @Override
        protected String getJSBundleFile() {
            return mBundleFilePath;
        }
    };

    @Override
    public ReactNativeHost getReactNativeHost() {
        return mReactNativeHost;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        SoLoader.init(this, /* native exopackage */ false);
    }
}

There are some methods for reloading. But it doesn't support external path. reloadJSFromServer works for only http/https.

getReactNativeHost().getReactInstanceManager().getDevSupportManager().reloadJSFromServer(httpUrl);

handleReloadJS loads from localhost/8081

getReactNativeHost().getReactInstanceManager().getDevSupportManager().handleReloadJS();

EDIT

Restart activity doesn't work for me :)

Intent myIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
finish();
startActivity(myIntent);

Use below code

ReactInstanceManager manager = application.getReactNativeHost().getReactInstanceManager();

manager.recreateReactContextInBackground();
