Check this page which has a tutorial on how to accomplish this. But mind you, this is undocumented, and might not work on all devices. Also check this answer to a related question on SO. I also believe that since Android 4.0, the os automatically does this for newly installed apps if it could find enough space for a short cut on a home screen.

2A small addition to your answer. Since 4.0, the OS will add a shortcut automatically only if the option to add shortcut automatically is checked in Google Play. – Siddharth Lele May 20 '12 at 12:06

@SiddharthLele Thanks, I wasn't aware that it was optional. – Jeshurun May 20 '12 at 12:08
