I didn't tried but its a very simple question. You can directly call the app_timer_start() again. If that doesn't work, you can stop the timer using app_timer_stop() and again call app_timer_start() at the signal event

The correct method is to call app_timer_stop() first, and then call app_timer_start(). The comments for app_timer_start() say the following:

 * @note When calling this method on a timer that is already running, the second start operation
 *       is ignored.

So if you want to restart, you'll have to stop it first.
