This is automatic. You don’t have anything to do.

A package should never do anything directly to a running session. As for
any rule, there are exceptions such as mechanisms to signal a reload,
but even those are workarounds. You should never launch anything in the
user session. Once your launcher is installed in /etc/xdg/autostart, the
job is done.
