I want to make a web application. Plus I want to make this application available to all phones using IOS and Android and place its icon over the home screen, as far as I came to know I can do so for Iphone, where I am confused is whether I have to make the same thing in a different manner for Android?

If you are building a web application then you will be fine, assuming you don’t to port it as a native application.
Simply look at responsive website designs to account for the different screen sizes and resources like:
browser-specific CSS for mobile browsers and
Developing Sites for iOS
To help understand the CSS differences in the mobile browsers.
A good starting point is making use of the Twitter Bootstrap Framework for websites which is very responsive and looks great on all mobile platforms.
Edit
JQuery plugin to suggest the user adds the site to the home screen:
