   Hi Carlos,   
      
   A home-screen shortcut just brings up a public activity.   
   All Androids have public activities. Thousands of them.   
      
   As long as the activity is public, it's trivial to write a one-tap shortcut   
   (and I've written the tutorial so there's no sense re-explaining how).   
      
   And it's trivial to find out which settings shortcuts are public.   
   I even gave Vanguard (multiple times) the exact lines for notifications.   
      
   1. "Notification Log" activity   
      com.android.settings.Settings$NotificationStationActivity   
      Shows dismissed notifications from the past 24 hours   
      
   2. "Notification History" activity   
      com.android.settings.notification.history.NotificationHistoryActivity   
      More detailed than the modern history UI   
      
   3. "App Notifications" activity   
      com.android.settings.Settings$NotificationAppListActivity   
      A full list of apps with notification permissions   
      
   The fact this question is still being asked means something is broken such   
   that we're wasting our valuable time repeating what everyone already knows.
