Steps to reproduce:
1. Install a web-app (Ex. solitaire)
2. Try to reinstall the same web-app again

Expected results:

Aaron/Jason do we have a bug on this already?

I suppose we have to call a custom window toast.show in the installation

Did we ever, I can't remember?

Whoops; wrong URL. Looks like we use our own createShortcut in browser.js; I don't think we create a custom toast

[Mark Finkle (:mfinkle) (use needinfo?)]

Correct. We only create an Android shortcut and Android displays a toast to let the user know a shortcut was created. Since we don't allow duplicate shortcuts, Android could be skipping the toast.

WONTFIX?

I think INVALID. This works... sometimes. I think it depends heavily on the Launcher that each phone ships (which is also the first thing every OEM customizes). i.e. We're doing everything we can. Its an Android bug.
