See Ubuntu 16.04 - How to start xampp control panel - Ask Ubuntu
From that link: “It will not create icon on desktop, it will create a entry in applications search”
When you see Xampp in your applications, right click on its icon and select “Add to Desktop” - there will be shortcut on your desktop.

you can create bash file that contains code to run xampp then open "main menu" app and load this bash file on app menu
