This is just a cool code.

MyFile.java

private void addShortcut(String path1, String pdfName) {
        File file = new File(path1);
        if (file.exists()) {
            Uri path = Uri.fromFile(file);
            Intent shortcutIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            shortcutIntent.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");
            Intent addIntent = new Intent();
            addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, shortcutIntent);
            addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, pdfName);
            addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE,
                    Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(this.getApplicationContext(),image));
            addIntent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");
            getApplicationContext().sendBroadcast(addIntent);
        } else {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Some error occurred!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }
