Assuming the shortcut ever worked, the most likely scenario for a user is that the shortcut points to an application that wasn't installed.

com.google.android.gallery3d doesn't exist in the Android open source

Have you tried creating a shortcut based on the actual ResolveInfo
object? Here's the code snippet for creating such an Intent:
Intent buildLauncherIntent(ResolveInfo launchable) {
ActivityInfo activity=launchable.activityInfo;
ComponentName name=new
ComponentName(activity.applicationInfo.packageName,
activity.name);
Intent i=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK |
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
i.setComponent(name);
return(i);
}

No, it is a very specific error, indicating that the application you
think you are trying to launch is not installed.
Intent shortcutIntent = getAppLauncherIntent(com.google.android.gm);
Don't hard-code packages. Use PackageManager and
queryIntentActivities() to determine what the launchable activities
are.
Thanks Mark.
I'm sorry for my confusion, but the concept of application is not
installed must have a semantic to android developers that I don't
understand. I was using PackageManager.getInstalledPackages to find
the package originally. So I figured, after your response, that it
must have something to do with the Intent I was using. So I tried
this:
getLauncherActivities();
private ArrayListResolveInfo getLauncherActivities()
{
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
return getIntentActivities(intent);
}
private ArrayListResolveInfo getLauncherActivities(Intent intent) {
ArrayListResolveInfo ret = new ArrayListResolveInfo();
ListResolveInfo packs =
getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
for(int i=0; ipacks.size(); i++) {
ResolveInfo ri = packs.get(i);
ret.add(ri);
}
return ret;
}
In the case of the Gallery application i.e.
com.google.android.gallery3d, which throws the Application is not
installed error in the shortcut, it shows up both in
getInstalledPackages and also in queryIntentActivities with the given
Intent, also it only has one entry in the queryIntentActivities which
confuses me even more. If it had more than one entry, that would make
sense to me, I would need to specify which className to invoke.
Anyways, very confused and hoping someone can help me out.
Thanks,
John
