Nobody needs it, only you — because of your choices. You are of course 
welcomed to your choices, but they have consequences. :-)


So, learn how to program for Android, and create yourself that 
application. It is the only thing you can do. Or convince some 
programmer to create it.



I could suggest that there are personalization/customization apps. You 
tap the phone to a sticker on your door frame; the phone reads it by NFC 
(which you have to keep activated for this to work), and on sensing the 
"HOME" sticker it automatically customizes the phone. Anything should be 
possible, like powering up the WiFi radio and connecting to it.

But you will not like having the NFC active full or most time.


I also long ago mentioned to you an application, that worked well on 
Android 2, that would customize the phone depending on location. This 
app stopped working that well in later Android versions because user 
apps can not switch on/off the Wifi radio.

Pity.
