Tutorial: How to make one-tap shortcuts to HIDDEN Android activies
(which have no GUI to get to them)
The only two things you need to make a shortcut to anything on Android is
the package name and the activity name (sometimes called a class).
For example, this is that set for a hidden notification history activity.
Package name: (com.android.settings)
Activity name: (com.android.settings.TestingSettings)
There is no way in Android to tap your way to that notification log, but if
you know just the package and activity, you can make a teleport shortcut.
What you need to know is the name of the package and hidden activity,
which, sometimes, if you're lucky, you can get in a published listing.
