Home Screen Chrome Shortcuts not working topic

I have 4 shortcuts on my home screen that only work some of the time. If I am using chrome and then I press the Home button to go back to the home screen then tap one of of my shortcuts it switches back to chrome (the last page I was on) but it doesn't load the shortcut from my Home Screen.
If I then close all the chrome tabs and then repeat, the Home Screen shortcuts work fine. Does this happen to anyone else and if so it's there a fix?

Cheers

[Q] app shortcuts with FLIRC topic

quick question...
is it possible to assign additional IR keys/commands (beyond that of the standard fire tv remote buttons) in the native fire tv gui, not kodi.

i would like to assign shortcuts on my remote that tell fire tv to open hbo, netfllx, etc...

Help with Adding Shortcuts to HomeScreen topic

so i have created 2 different app lists one which stores the app drawer and this one works fine i can displa y apps and launch them. Im using the same process to create a app list for shortcuts but instead of a gridview im using a listview in a popup .. This all works fine displays the list fine. when i click on it the onclicklistener works as well. now my problem is adding the shortcuts to my home screen inside my launcher not the android launcher but my own custom launcher. which is all part of the same project.
the code below has been changed multiple times and now im just trying to get it where it creates a shortcut for my app which this is not working either
the astro_label,icon,name are the ones i want to use to grab the information from the item clicked those return values just fine.
btw mContext is Context mContext;

any help would be grant thank you

        // a Intent to create a shortCut
