[android-developers] Re: Updating home screen shortcut icon

As fast as I know once shortcuts are created they are no longer related to the application that created it. So you wont be able to update the icon on old shortcuts.

Hi Willian,

Did you solve the problem? I have the same issue. I have
relocated .action.MAIN intent filter to newer activity in the new app
version, and users report me that they are not able to lunch
application from older shortcut after upgrade. They need delete
previous shortcut and create a new one. I also able to reproduce the
issue. So I also looking for a way to update app shortcut.
