    just add this to your manifest :

    <uses-permission android:name="com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT"/>

    and use this code : 

    Intent shortcutIntent = new Intent();
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName(getPackageName(), getPackageName());
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
shortcutIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, i);
shortcutIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, getPackageName());
shortcutIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE,
Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(getApplicationContext(),
                        R.drawable.icon));
shortcutIntent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");
        this.sendBroadcast(shortcutIntent);

    You can change the icon to your application icon and change name of your application
