In Windows, if I have to create a custom icon to trigger a program, I can simply right-click on desktop/folder->New->Shortcut, and then fill in the necessary details, like "chrome.exe www.example.com
".
Once created, when I click on this icon, it will directly open the site example.com in the Chrome browser in a single click.
I want to achieve this similar custom shortcut icon creation in Android, like a bookmarklet (or whatever it is called).
Ideally, when tapped/clicked, this icon should open the given site (say example.com) in the default browser of the Android phone.
This SO thread has some inputs (How can I open a URL in Android's web browser from my application?), but it does not have info about creating a Android icon which can be placed on Android phone's homescreen.
