I have implemented a lightning app in which I have 2 components
- A modal window component to create an opportunity record
- A summary window component which displays the total number of opportunities along with Total Amount and Expected Amount(based on probability)

Below are the two components 

**************Modal Component***************

<aura:component controller="OpportunityController">

    <!-- UpdateOpptyEvent Sender -->
    <aura:registerEvent name="UpdateOpptyEvent" type="c:UpdateOpptyEvent" />


    <!-- Component Attributes -->
    <aura:attribute name="modalSectionClass" type="String" description="This attribute is used to set class for the modal section" default="slds-modal" />
    <aura:attribute name="backgroundClass" type="String" description="This attribute is used to set class for the background section" default="slds-backdrop" />

    <aura:attribute name="newOpportunity" type="Opportunity" default="{ 'sobjectType': 'Opportunity',
                'Name': '',
                'CloseDate': '',
                'StageName': ''
                }" />

    <!-- slds-fade-in-open-->
    <div aura:id="modalSection" class="{!v.modalSectionClass}" aria-hidden="false" role="dialog">
        <div class="slds-modal__container">

I have a requirement where I want to refresh/reload/update just the summary window component as soon as the user creates an opportunity record (and it is successful) using the modal component(which is implemented for record creation).

PLEASE NOTE : This is a standalone app and it is not in one.app container. So I can't use the force:refreshView thing.  Also I don't want to refresh the whole page. Just the summary component.

As you can see I am already trying to send an application event on the click of "Save" button in Modal component and then handling it on the Summary component. But after handling it I don't know how to refresh that individual component.

Please help!!
