How to Show Record Type Picker in Lightning

Question

I have a VF page that I use for both classic and lightning. In this page, there is a button to create a new account. For classic, it just redirects the page to this url:

/001/e?setup/ui/recordtypeselect.jsp?ent=Account

For lightning, this takes the user to the account create page, but it skips the record type selection. So it tries to create an account with no record type, and it errors out.

Any thoughts on how I can create a link to the new account page with a record type picker (if needed) that would work for both classic and lightning?

Thanks

update: if it helps, here's a quick snippet of code. the button itself is just a SLDS styled button

<button class="slds-button slds-button--neutral" onclick="gotoNewAccountPage()">
    <svg class="slds-button__icon slds-button__icon--left" aria-hidden="true">
        <use xlink:href="{!URLFOR($Asset.SLDS, '/assets/icons/utility-sprite/svg/symbols.svg#new')}" />
    </svg>
    New Account
</button>

then it does this on click

function navigateToUrl(url){
    if(isLightningDesktop()){                   
        sforce.one.navigateToURL(url, true);
        // sforce.one.createRecord("Account", "012***************")
    }else{
        window.location.href = url;
    }
}

function gotoNewAccountPage(){
    navigateToUrl("/001/e?setup/ui/recordtypeselect.jsp?ent=Account");
}

as you guys can see commented out on the navigateToUrl method, the createRecord would work well if I had a record type id. but in this case, I do not since the user has to pick something first
