Android, run a certain shortcut

Question

So, there are apps that can create shortcuts on the home screen. My question is, How can my app opens/runs/starts a certain shortcut?

if I have 2 browser shortcuts, each of them loads a different url ... how can I choose between them? how to choose to open the 1st or the second one?

Shortcuts are visual cues to an `Intent`. What excatly are you asking? — r2DoesInc, Sep 04 '14 at 14:03

so you want to launch both the url on single click? or on two different clicks? — Sagar Pilkhwal, Sep 05 '14 at 11:22

To open a URL/website you do the following:

String url = "http://www.example.com";
Intent mIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
mIntent.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(mIntent);

Here's the documentation of Intent.ACTION_VIEW.
