Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I can't start HA Assist from Samsung Galaxy phone's lock screen (mine is Galaxy S22, Android 14).

Describe the solution you'd like

If there would be a normal Assist app, I could add it into Samsung Galaxy phone's lock screen as an app shortcut and start Assist that way from lock screen.
Any other solution would be ok too :)

Describe alternatives you've considered, if any

There are currently three ways to add Assist into Android's home screen: dynamic shortcut, pinned shortcut and adding Assist from widget launcher (two first with "?conversation=1").
I have tried all three approaches and it is not possible to add any of these three approaches into Samsung Galaxy S22's (Android 14) lockscreen as a shortcut (meaning, Assist can't be run from Samsung's lock screen).

I wanted a real assist app to bind to double click of the power key (also s22).
My work around for this issue was through the app Android Tasker.
Create a task, choose app, then shortcut. There you can choose "home assistant: assist" and the task will start the assist intent directly.
Now export the task to an app. This will create a "real" apk that you can install.
I also tested to replace camera shortcut on the lock screen with this and it also works.
