I thank Stan for his purposefully helpful suggestion allowing people to put
a one-tap 'Do Not Disturb' 'shortcut' conveniently on their 'lock screen'.

To add value to what Stan kindly supplied, you can also easily create a
one-tap 'shortcut' on your 'desktop' to *any* Android 'public activity'.

Try this to create a one-tap 'desktop' shortcut to almost anything!
1. Open up your Muntashirakon App Manager (the best app by far, on Android)
2. Select any app on your system (e.g., Google Maps) & press "Activities"
3. For any activity you want a shortcut to, just press "Create Activity"

This adds any 'public activity' to your homescreen, where you can move them
into a shortcuts folder or a specific folder such as your mapping folders.
