Restore in the background.
IIRC, google backup/restore had this.
The restore was non-blocking after initiating it. It kept chugging along as a persistent notification.
As there's more risk the user forgetting the ongoing process, what happens when I'd reboot the device? (most likely due to battery, power loss)
If I remember correctly, the reason to make this blocking is related to the launcher, so re-installed apps would appear there in the correct place. Google launcher has some special magic with placeholders I think which free software launchers don't have. @chirayudesai may know more.
There may be some hooks in the Launcher for this which we may be able to use to build something for having stub icons. It'd certainly be a nice feature, but then it'd have to be a Launcher patch.
If that's not done, a hardcoded restore launcher (again?) at the end may also do the trick.
