Fortunately you can do all that with the following command line.
So just make an icon that does the following:

    sage -notebook sage_notebook 8000 localhost True

It'll make a directory sage_notebook in whatever directory that
command is run in, start the SAGE server, and launch the default
web browser with the notebook loaded.
