I have create shortcut icon on home of another application using code:

Intent shortcutIntent = new Intent(context,
                        list.get(i).activityInfo.applicationInfo.name.getClass());
shortcutIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
Intent addIntent = new Intent();
addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, shortcutIntent);
addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME,                            manager.getApplicationLabel(list.get(i).activityInfo.applicationInfo));
                addIntent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");
                Parcelable icon = Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(context, R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
                addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, icon);
                context.sendBroadcast(addIntent);

I am unable to start that application on shortcut icon click on home.

what happens instead? – Vladyslav Matviienko Sep 12 '17 at 08:58
I don't see you calling `startActivity()` anywhere. You intend to open another application, yes? https://stackoverflow.com/a/2780475/5746918 – Ishita Sinha Sep 12 '17 at 09:14
@IshitaSinha, he doesn't need to I think. He is calling `context.sendBroadcast(addIntent);` – Vladyslav Matviienko Sep 12 '17 at 09:16
I want to start app on click of shortcut icon after create. – user8269038 Sep 12 '17 at 09:26

I have already seen it but not help. – user8269038 Sep 12 '17 at 09:36
@user8269038 are you trying to launch the app from the home screen of the device or from a screen in another application? @VladMatvienko `sendBroadcast` only works if the activity in question has registered a receiver for such a broadcast. – Ishita Sinha Sep 12 '17 at 10:01
try getting the launcher activity class instead of what you are getting – Vladyslav Matviienko Sep 12 '17 at 10:07
I am trying to launch the app from the home screen of the device. – djvjvfvdfvhj Sep 12 '17 at 10:40
@djvjvfvdfvhj Put a breakpoint and see what this returns: `list.get(i).activityInfo.applicationInfo.name.getClass()`. Or paste the logcat response on clicking the shortcut. – Ishita Sinha Sep 12 '17 at 11:22
it means like LauncherActivity.class. – user8269038 Sep 12 '17 at 11:36
