  • It's a system feature. Well, it's actually a setting in the Play Store app. –  Jun 06 '16 at 11:43
  • hey Lonnie, I have not published in store I am testing it locally with my mobile. – Rahul Sonone Jun 06 '16 at 11:50

    Thats what @LonnieZamora is trying to tell you. You only get a shortcut on your home screen after installing an app from the play store, not during development. – Ruben2112 Jun 06 '16 at 11:52

This is the best answer I found (https://stackoverflow.com/a/23893035/2507782) because in this we are checking if shortcut already exist and along with this some modifications in manifest files are.

<activity android:name=".ShortCutActivity" android:label="@string/shortcut_label">
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:naenter code hereme="android.intent.action.CREATE_SHORTCUT" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
  </intent-filter>
</activity>

and

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