How to open particular activity using shortcut?

Question

I am trying to open particular activity using shortcut but always run application.

When application is running in background and click on shortcut icon -> particular activity is open.

If application is killed from background then how to open particular activity using shortcut.

* Below method use for create shortcut

private void createShortcutOfApp() {

    Intent shortcutIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
        YourTargetActivity.class);
    shortcutIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);

    Intent addIntent = new Intent();
    addIntent
        .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, shortcutIntent);
    addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, "App shortcut name");
    addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE,
    Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(getApplicationContext(),
    R.mipmap.logo_of_your_app_shortcut));

    addIntent
        .setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");
    addIntent.putExtra("duplicate", false);  //may it's already there so   don't duplicate
    getApplicationContext().sendBroadcast(addIntent);
}
