Do you mean when the user uninstalls the application you want any icons placed on the homepage for the application to be removed?

It should do that by default should it not?

Intent shortcutIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
shortcutIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
shortcutIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
shortcutIntent.setClassName(this, this.getClass().getName());
final Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, shortcutIntent);
intent.setAction("com.android.launcher.permission.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT");
NB in manifest file use permission to uninstall shortcut
