Can I reload a page form Service Worker (or Secondary Thread)?

I have a functional progressive web app. In it to upload data I'm first caching it in IndexDB and then uploading it and if the upload is successful delete the data from IndexDB. Now, I want to reload the page once the data is deleted. Is there any way to achieve this outside the main thread(ie. form service worker)?

NOTE:window object is not accessible in service worker.

You have to communicate first with your page over the postMessage function, then you can access window and reload the page. Here you can find a good description:
