The accepted solution is not the appropriate way to do it. Ideally you shouldn't need to interfere with the digest cycle (which $apply() does).

The best way according to me is calling $location.path() from the MainController. Use $emit - $on to send it to the MainController and have a function call $location.path from there. It will redirect you flawlessly without having to interfere with the digest cycle. I hope this helps someone.
