Yup. That's the hardest way to do it though, as that was written to find
the hardest-to-make shortcuts, which are to activities that are hidden.

But kudos to you for running the search, which is one thing 99 out of 100
people on this newsgroup are allergic to doing. Most never once search.

Everything you want to do in this thread, I've done, and I've written a
tutorial already to help you do it. It took me many hours to learn about
and then write up what will take you only a few minutes to follow the
tutorial to do it.

You can do it the way that is described in that tutorial, 
but that's the hard way (for the hardest to make one-tap shortcuts).

There are much easier ways for activities which are NOT hidden.
The activities I pointed out to you for Notification are NOT hidden.

The Notification log brings up this Android activity in my shortcut.
com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings$NotificationStationActivity

The Notification history brings up this Android activity in my shortcut.
com.android.settings/com.android.settings.notification.history.NotificationHistoryActivity

See this screenshot I just made for you which shows both of those
Notification shortcuts I made when I wrote the tutorials posted here.
  <https://i.postimg.cc/6Q5W7QR8/onetapnotificationshortcuts.jpg>

See the two notification shortcuts in my one-tap shortcuts folder?

One goes to "Notification history" & the other to "Notification logs".
(Don't ask me why there are 2 public activities for almost the same thing.)

It's trivial to create one-tap shortcuts to any public activity.
(the hidden ones are the hard ones but these aren't hidden)

Run the search for "shortcuts" and maybe "tutorial" and you'll see them.
There's nothing more I can tell you that isn't in those tutorials already.

Here are more screenshots you'll find in the multiple tutorials.

What I do is make one-tap shortcuts to any activity I do more than once.
This, for example, resets a critical Google Location privacy setting.

And here is a shortcut to the roaming activities to make it easy to get to.

And if you care about being pretty, here are my many icons that I make.

 <https://i.postimg.cc/Z5s60RZH/icon05.jpg> Android gives you full control

Pretty much, almost anything that takes more than one button press can
be made into a one-tap shortcut if you can find the unique name of the 
public activity (which is the hardest part). Everything else is easy.
