I use these methods to properly add or remove shortcuts. These methods are working pretty well and are the same as the Android System when the user manually add/remove a shortcut.

public static void addShortcut(Context context)
{
    Intent shortcut = new Intent("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");

    ApplicationInfo appInfo = context.getApplicationInfo();

    // Shortcut name
    shortcut.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, appInfo.name);
    shortcut.putExtra("duplicate", false); // Just create once

    // Setup activity shoud be shortcut object 
    ComponentName component = new ComponentName(appInfo.packageName, appInfo.className);
    shortcut.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN).setComponent(component));

    // Set shortcut icon
    ShortcutIconResource iconResource = Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(context, appInfo.icon);
    shortcut.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, iconResource);

    context.sendBroadcast(shortcut);
}

public static void deleteShortcut(Context context)
{
    Intent shortcut = new Intent("com.android.launcher.action.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT");

    ApplicationInfo appInfo = context.getApplicationInfo();

    // Shortcut name
    shortcut.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, appInfo.name);

    ComponentName comp = new ComponentName(appInfo.packageName, appInfo.className);
    shortcut.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN).setComponent(comp));

    context.sendBroadcast(shortcut);
}
