Is there a "add to homescreen" webapp on Android (like in iOS)

Question

A webapp on iOS is basically a headless browser.

Is there something similar on Android?

As far as I understand it, you can only put bookmarks on the homescreen. Is that correct?

Note: Wrapping to something native on not an option.

Answer 1

There is no way to add shortcuts (apps, bookmarks, etc) to the Android homescreen programmatically. All homescreen "additions" must be added via the launcher.
