I am working on smartphone site. Is there a way to set "Bookmark this site" button on both Android and iPhone site like old school website?
No, there isn't, and I hope nobody implements this, it is too obstrusive.
What some sites do, at last on iPhone, is to create a popup pointing to the bookmark button (see youtube mobile) asking if the user wants to bookmark it.

You can use HTTP Header.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields
Through the User-Agent field you can get the browser version etc. Other header could be interesting for you, too.
In Iphone , the web icon function is something like when browsing the website, if I click on add to homescreen, then there will be a shortcut for the website on the homescreen, so the user later click on that icon will open the browser and go to the bookmarked website.

"Add to homescreen" button in Android does not show website as a Web App
Hi all sorry if this is repost. I really searched but can't find anything on it.
I always see this special ad when I use google services on my iphone or ipad. This little window animates out looking like a chat box. I can detect iOS device using user agent but how do I make the advert appear like google does? Specifically, try to open google maps.
I would like to use a window like this when users use iOS device to access my website. It is the most elegant way to tell iOS user about your app while not annoying them with some roadblock each time you try to access with iOS device.
Here is an image of what I'm talking about:
You can use this Javascript: http://cubiq.org/add-to-home-screen
I don't know whether this is your expectation, When your page has access from any iOS device, you wanted to bring up that dialog in webpage Right?..If That is the case then just retrieve the os info and make check there and do your presentation as you want.
I am developing a web cross-browser app.
I want that, clicking on "ADD HOME" icon, by Javascript detects the OS (Android, iOs, BB...) and creates a Shortcut (bookmark) on the HomeScreen.
Is it possible?
Thanks a lot.
At least on iOS(4.x) it isn't possible.
Read Javascript for "Add to Home Screen" on iPhone? for details. As it is suggested, you can add a bubble, dialog or some other information to guide the user for using iOS's own functionality.
