Suleyman, you should post your question on Stack Overflow ( http://stackoverflow.com/ ). I have no idea how to do what you’re asking.

Android shortcuts can only start an activity, not a service. So if you want a shortcut that starts a service (like the upcoming Dindy shortcuts) you need to have a transparent activity that the user will not see when he/she starts the shortcut.

I put it here because it was hard to find the correct way to do it. If you look for “transparent activity android” in Google you find many ways that work on the emulator but not on some phones or vice versa.

Where did you use it? In the widget?

Funny – the shameless plug :)
