Add a shortcut to the Android home screen in the Ionic Cordova application

public void createShortCut(){
 Intent shortcutintent = new Intent("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");
 shortcutintent.putExtra("duplicate", false); 
 shortcutintent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, getString(R.string.shortcutname));
 Parcelable icon = Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(getApplicationContext, R.drawable.icon);
 shortcutintent. putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, icon);
 shortcutintent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, new Intent(getApplicationContext, EnterActivity.class));
 sendBroadcast(shortcutintent);
)

 android:name="com.android.launcher. permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT" />
  android:name="com.android.launcher.permission.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT" /> 

I am writing an ionic application for android (using coffeescript and angular), I I want to add a shortcut to the application on the home screen. Google didn’t help, and this cordova/phonegap plugin doesn’t work.

Any ideas how to do it?

Starting from ICS, you can do this:

public void createShortCut(){ 
 Intent shortcutintent = new Intent("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");
 shortcutintent.putExtra("duplicate", false);
 shortcutintent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, getString(R.string.shortcutname));
 Parcelable icon = Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(getApplicationContext, R.drawable.icon);
 shortcutintent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, icon);
 shortcutintent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, new Intent(getApplicationContext, EnterActivity.class));
 sendBroadcast(shortcutintent);
)

You can also add permissions in AndroidManifest.xml , As follows:

 android:name="com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT" />
  android:name="com.android.launcher.permission.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT" />

Please also refer to the source code of the launcher: this link
