Tasker
There is and I've got that down now. But for some reason I can't seem to get the bool passed correctly
No, you haven't. You are not using shortcut as far as I can see.
Sorry I meant that I should be calling ShortcutActivity now. As for running the created shortcuts they don't register as applications with Android and are not in the list to choose from. The closest I can get is Traccar Client:ShortcutActivity
Looks like it's not possible:

But how do you pass the flag? Where is the key and how do you tell it that it's a boolean?
As far as I can tell this should work.
Where does it say that it's a boolean? I don't think it's going to work like this.
The format itself should understand that it's boolean from what I read.
Where did you read it? I seriously doubt it because how would it distinguish between "true" string and "true" boolean? It's ambiguous.

However I may have misinterpreted it.
Looks like you are right, it should work. Maybe you need full class name of the activity?
Maybe, what's the full name? Sorry if it's an obvious answer, Android programming really isn't my thing. Also I will be a few minutes before I can test again
Full name is org.traccar.client.ShortcutActivity
ShortcutActivity I chose off a list
So that should be fine
Then it should be fine. I don't have any other ideas.
There must be a way to use shortcuts directly.
