Problem : In the latest update of my Android application, the application name and logo have changed. However, when users update the application, the name and icon don't change until the phone is rebooted.
Questions : Is there anything I could do to enforce the change immediately? Or should I inform users somehow that a reboot is necessary? Or can I somehow force a reboot? Any other ideas?

You can use Shortcut Maker to customize app icons and names on any device. Go to Settings > Themes to download and apply icon packs on Samsung devices. You can download and install custom icons via Google Play Store on any Android device. You may need to install a launcher to change app icons.
Go to the app > res > values > strings. xml file as shown in the below image. In this file we have a string name as app_name it is the string resource that holds the current app name which is passed in the Manifest. xml file's application tag inside the label attribute.
The icon is stored in cache, so the only ways to refresh it are to reboot the phone or to clean app cache then update.

You need to restart your launcher in order to refresh the icon and name. For this, you may go to Settings -> Applications -> Your-Installed-Launcher -> Force stop. Once you land on home screen, your launcher will kick-in and refresh everything itself
