-    #### iOS static shortcuts
+    #### Android Static Shortcuts
+    Google documents how to add static shortcuts
+    [here](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/shortcuts/creating-shortcuts#static).
+
+    In the `tiapp.xml` file, you will need to add a shortcuts `<meta-data/>` element to your main activity.
+    ``` xml
+    <ti:app>
+        <android>
+            <manifest>
+                <application>
+                    <activity android:name=".<Yourapplicationname>Activity">
+                        <intent-filter>
+                            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
+                            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
+                        </intent-filter>
+                        <meta-data android:name="android.app.shortcuts" android:resource="@xml/shortcuts"/>
+                    </activity>
+                </application>
+            </manifest>
+        </android>
+    </ti:app>
+    ```
+
+    You will also need to create a `shortcuts.xml` file as shown below, defining all of the app's static shortcuts.
+    This file must reside in the Titanium project's `./platform/android/res/xml` folder. Note that XML attributes
+    `icon`, `shortcutShortLabel`, `shortcutLongLabel`, and `shortcutDisabledMessage` must be defined as string
+    resources under the project's `i18n` folders or `./platform/android/res/values` folders.
+    Attributes `targetPackage` and `targetClass` need to be set to your project id and app name.
+    ``` xml
+    <shortcuts xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
+      <shortcut
+        android:shortcutId="my_unique_string_id"
+        android:enabled="true"
+        android:icon="@drawable/my_shortcut_icon"
+        android:shortcutShortLabel="@string/my_shortcut_short_label"
+        android:shortcutLongLabel="@string/my_shortcut_long_label"
+        android:shortcutDisabledMessage="@string/my_shortcut_disabled_message">
+        <intent
+          android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW"
+          android:targetPackage="<id_from_tiapp_xml>"
+          android:targetClass="<id_from_tiapp_xml>.<Yourapplicationname>Activity" />
+        <categories android:name="android.shortcut.conversation" />
+      </shortcut>
+      <!-- Add more shortcuts here. -->
+    </shortcuts>
+    ```
+
+    #### iOS Static Shortcuts
     Static shortcut items can be set in the `<ios>` section of the `tiapp.xml` before launching the app.
 
     Here is an example how to create static application shortcuts in the `tiapp.xml`:
