No, it should not. Besides, only automations should display a notification when run (if you choose to receive a notification when setting one up.) Regular shortcuts do not send any notifications.


Could you post a screenshot of the notification you see?

Since you have no shortcuts or automations, try to delete the Shortcuts app (not just from the Home Screen.) You'll be able to download it again from the App Store if you need to use it in the future.


You could even try to redownload it right away as deleting the Shortcuts app would remove all the settings it contains and thus perhaps remove the notifications you see in Screen Time.
