How to start application in android system directly from the browser?

I开发者_StackOverflow中文版s it possible and if yes, how to start application directly from email, or browser.

What I want to achieve: user receives in email some activation link, clicks it and he is redirected to app, possibly with some Extras put into intent.

Thanks in advance, Patryk

I suppose you mean the browser in your phone? Yes it's totally possible with a caveat that the app in question has to support such intent. For example if in your browser you click mailto link it will start the email app. More on intents and intent filters here
