If you want to restart the activity you're in, try this:

Intent intent = getIntent();
overridePendingTransition(0, 0);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);
finish();
startActivity(intent);

If you're on API 11+, you can recreate an Activity by calling the recreate method:

activity.recreate();

Finish the Activity and launch it again with an Intent, but I don't really see why you would want to do that.

If you are developing for Honeycomb (API 11) or later you can call recreate()

You may want to use the onPaint event with invalidate() if all you want to do is refresh.
