I am developing a web cross-browser app.
I want that, clicking on “ADD HOME” icon, by Javascript detects the OS (Android, iOs, BB…) and creates a Shortcut (bookmark) on the HomeScreen.
Is it possible?
Thanks a lot.

At least on iOS(4.x) it isn’t possible.
Read Javascript for "Add to Home Screen" on iPhone? for details. As it is suggested, you can add a bubble, dialog or some other information to guide the user for using iOS’s own functionality.
