There's no way you can relaunch your app. The Android OS takes care of killing low priority apps when it starts running out of memory. What you should do is try to save any state before your app gets killed. When the app is launched again, check if there's any state saved and restore your app to the last state.

You should also look as to why your phone is running low on memory, maybe your app is not cleaning up properly or using too many images, bitmaps, etc that use up a lot of memory?
