Help Bookmark on Home Screen

Lurker
I am looking for a way to either use a hyperlink or button on a webpage that will automatically create a shortcut on the home screen of either an android phone or tablet.

I can do what I want manually by creating an image 144 x 144 pixels and names (apple-touch-icon.png) and adding the following in the <head></head> tags on my webpage.

<link rel=”apple-touch-icon” href=”/apple-touch-icon.png”/>
<link rel=”apple-touch-icon-precomposed” href=”/apple-touch-icon.png”/>

Once done, if you bookmark the page, then add a shortcut, the image appears on the homescreen with text based on whats between the <title></title> tags.

The above works for both android and ipnones but I would rather be able to achieve the shortcut on the homescreen without the messing around of manually creating bookmarks then shortcuts.

Any other solutions available?
