Apps propagate URL shortcut to multiple devices?

Hello,

I am looking into developing a web application that I would like to create a shortcut for on people's home screen. I know that to create a URL shortcut you would normally have to bookmark it and then create a shortcut to the bookmark, I wondered if anyone could tell me what would be the best way to automate this process (as much as possible) on android devices. Is it possible to create a hotlink that would create the shortcut? Would a better way be to create an application that would launch the browser or create the URL shortcut?

Of course, if i create an application I would then have to propagate it across all the devices. Is that simpler to do than a URL shortcut?

Sorry if the questions are a bit silly, I am just getting into android development.

Thanks.
