Unable To Create Application's Shortcut On Home Screen Upon Installation In Android

I want to create a shortcut of the application on home screen when it is installed. I added this to AndroidManifest.xml Copy

Also apply following permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permissionandroid:name="com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT" />

Hope this will work for you

Solution 2:

IntentshortcutIntent=newIntent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);     
shortcutIntent.setClassName(this, this.getClass().getName()); 

Intentintent=newIntent();     
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, shortcutIntent);     
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, "hello");     
ParcelableiconResource= Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(this, R.drawable.icon);

intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, iconResource);  
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_CREATE_SHORTCUT);

getApplicationContext().sendBroadcast(intent);
