On my phone, the browser shortcut on the home screen opens the browser with the last page that was visited. Perhaps the behavior you're looking for is like when, from the browser, you choose Menu + Windows + New window.
I don't know the specifics of your use case (opening a blank browser seems a bit odd). Have you considered creating your own activity having a WebView? That would afford you greater control of the UX. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
