Android app not creating shortcut icon on home screen (downloaded from play store)


After downloading app from play store, its not creating shortcut icon on home screen(it creates icon in app drawer). While this thing working fine on most of devices. But for some devices. App is not creating shortcuts.

I have checked:

a) Play store settings and Auto-Add widgets is marked.

b) Launcher settings automatically add shortcut to screen is market.

Is there anything at programmer end? Can we write some code which will result in shortcut when app downloaded from play store?


Solution

  • I don't think this is a bug coming from the application, it's more of a bug may be device bug probably. I'd check the caches on your device, ROM settings, etc.
