Add Shortcut option

[dev-a]

Summary

Adds app shortcuts to quickly enable or disable protection directly from the launcher, improving user accessibility and control.

Changes

• AndroidManifest.xml
  • Added android.app.shortcuts metadata pointing to res/xml/shortcuts.xml
  • Declared new ActivityShortcut (translucent, no history, excluded from recents)
  • Added ReceiverShortcut broadcast receiver for handling shortcut actions
• ActivityShortcut.java
  • New activity handling launcher shortcut intents (SHORTCUT_ON / SHORTCUT_OFF)
  • Sends corresponding broadcast to toggle protection
  • Displays a toast confirmation to the user
• ReceiverShortcut.java
  • New broadcast receiver handling shortcut actions
  • Supports explicit ON/OFF actions and fallback toggle based on current state
  • Sends broadcast to WidgetAdmin and shows user feedback via toast
• res/xml/shortcuts.xml
  • Defined two launcher shortcuts:
    • "Protection ON"
    • "Protection OFF"
  • Both trigger ActivityShortcut with appropriate actions
• strings.xml
  • Added shortcut_on and shortcut_off string

Behaviour

• Two new app shortcuts appear in the launcher (long press on app icon)
• Users can directly enable or disable protection without opening the app
• A toast message confirms the action ("Protection ON" / "Protection OFF")
• If triggered via broadcast without explicit state, the receiver toggles based on current status

Testing

• Verified both shortcuts appear in launcher menu
• Tested "Protection ON" shortcut → correctly enables protection
• Tested "Protection OFF" shortcut → correctly disables protection
• Verified toast messages are displayed correctly
• Tested fallback toggle behaviour via broadcast
• Confirmed no crashes when shortcuts are triggered repeatedly

Thanks for the commit. I'm hesitant to merge because it's quite a bit of new code.

No worries, it's your project, it's just a suggestion (which is helpful to me, lol).

You don't have to include it right away either, and keep it on hand.
