You can store a flag in preference manager to mark whether you've created the shortcut. This can be achieved by 

SharedPreferences prefs = mContext.getSharedPreferences("shortcut_created", 0);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
if (prefs.getBoolean("shortcut_created", false)) 
{ 
    // if shortcut has not been created, create your shortcut here
    ...
    // once shortcut is created, mark the preference so the next time it does not 
    // create the shortcut again 

    editor.putBoolean("shortcut_created", true);
}

On pre-JB android versions, you can try this:

addIntent.putExtra("duplicate", false);

Otherwise, you can just uninstall and reinstall the shortcut:

intent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT");
getApplicationContext().sendBroadcast(intent);

intent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");
getApplicationContext().sendBroadcast(intent);
