public static void installshortcut(context context, string packagename, string componentname, string shortcutname, parcelable icon) {     intent shortcut = new intent("com.android.launcher.action.install_shortcut");     componentname cn = new componentname(packagename, componentname);     shortcut.putextra(intent.extra_shortcut_intent, new intent(intent.action_main).setcomponent(cn));     shortcut.putextra(intent.extra_shortcut_name, shortcutname);     shortcut.putextra(intent.extra_shortcut_icon_resource, icon);     shortcut.putextra("duplicate", false);     context.sendbroadcast(shortcut); }  // gets info external package name public static void createshortcutforpackage(context context, string packagename, string classname) {     intent intent = new intent();     intent.setcomponent(new componentname(packagename, classname));      packagemanager pm = context.getpackagemanager();     resolveinfo ri = pm.resolveactivity(intent, 0);      string shortcutname = ri.loadlabel(pm).tostring();     string activityname = ri.activityinfo.name;     int iconid = ri.activityinfo.applicationinfo.icon;      context pkgcontext;     try {         pkgcontext = context.createpackagecontext(packagename, context.context_include_code | context.context_ignore_security);         if (pkgcontext != null) {             shortcuticonresource sir = intent.shortcuticonresource.fromcontext(pkgcontext, iconid);             installshortcut(pkgcontext, packagename, activityname, shortcutname, sir);         }     } catch (namenotfoundexception e) {     } } 

this default android 4.2.2 home screen:

update: on android 4.0.4 shortcut created in right place.

there hundreds of home screen implementations, both pre-installed , ones installable via play store. each welcome either:

• ignore intent entirely, not having <intent-filter> it, or
• put shortcut wherever wants

on android 4.0.4 shortcut created in right place.

no, put in "the right place" in both cases, authors of home screen -- not -- determines "the right place" is.
