As you know, Chrome and Mozilla for Android have an option to create a shortcut of a web page on the home screen. I was wondering if there is a way for me to add a button on my website and when the user presses it will create a shortcut to my website in the device's home menu or that I create that shortcut manually and can upload it to the cloud for user download. Thanks in advance.

I'm developing a Browser extension. Almost completed the project.
But,
I want that extension to pop-up automatically (without clicking the icon), when I access a particular website in a browser
And I want to make the pop-up page visible on the tab until I close the tab.
I have no idea on how to do this.
It would be helpful, if any of you guys share your ideas!
Thanks in advance.
If user visit on my progressive web app and he don't know about chrome's add to desktop button on chrome menu so how can i tell him to install, is there any solution? like display button on web app, because if user visits "twice, over two separate days during the course of two weeks" then app install banner appears, so is it possible that when user visit first time then app install banner appears?
Now this feature is not enable by default yet. You should force this banner in DevTools or enable in flag://. Normally banner will show at fist visit if enabled
Today I was browsing "how to migrate jimdo CMS to WordPress" from the internet.
And I've got a website with some details.
Here is the URL of the website:https://m.freelancer.com/projects/Wordpress/Migrate-Jimdo-Website-WordPress/
When I click over that website's link, after the website is loaded, I saw a window like this: "Add this website to home screen ".
When I choose"yes", the browser automatically created an app for that website in my home page. My Device is android, so I clicked the home button of my phone and clicked over the apps icon. Then an app is just opened. The app doesn't looks like chrome because it doesn't have the address bar. I didn't installed any freelancer apk file.I tried to close and uninstall that app. From home screen, when I hold over the app icon, I saw" remove " text on top of my phone's screen. It means that the app I've hold is not an actual apk. It's a widget or something which is created by the chrome browser by command of that "https://m.freelancer.com/projects/Wordpress/Migrate-Jimdo-Website-WordPress/" website. I want to add that feature in my website, which is a sub domain:sslclive.jimdo.com
Is anyone anyone knows how to add that feature in my website?
That feature must be maid by some kind of HTML/JavaScript code.
If anyone knows, then please answer.
And sorry for my worst bad English
You need to add this meta tag to tells the browser to launch your page fullscreen
<meta name="mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
You can also add an icon using a manifest:

I have a HTML 5 app which works with offline storage. It only needs to work in Chrome at the moment. I want the user to be able to access the app both online and offline. At the moment I am asking the user to bookmark the page to come back to it when offline.
I would like to have a link: "Click here to create a desktop shortcut". Does anybody know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance.
I encourage you to get your app in the Chrome Web Store and it will be installed to the users Chrome. Any app that is created to work offline will work offline regardless of it having a desktop icon or not.
If the user is on Windows they can also create an application shortcut that will be placed on to the desktop.
While installing the Google extensions form chrome web store it shows some popup like "Google Chrome extension is now installed".
I want similarly, while login I need to show the login popup.
Please suggest me on this.
You can create either a browser action or a page action popup. You can change popup html dynamically to make it look completely different depending on the situation but you can't open it programmatically (desktop notifications could be used for alerts).
