Start Netflix Android App

I'm looking for a way to start the Netflix application and for it to go to a particular movie on Android. I have the full URL and I can even get the movie id, but I'm not sure how to start the Netflix app and give it this info.

For iOS apps there's the "nflx://www.netflix.com" URL Scheme. Anyone done something similar for Android apps?

Most of the Netflix clients support a variety of action-based URLs such as: www.netflix.com/watch/videoId (e.g. www.netflix.com/watch/70300800) www.netflix.com/title/videoId (e.g. www.netflix.com/title/70300800)

Support for these links is provided in the Android application.

However this is not an official or public spec and thus is subject to change.

Have you tried 

nflx://www.netflix.com/WiPlayer?movieid=___trkid=___&episodeid=___

But be aware that Netflix doesn't actually support external launch points as one developer said (http://developer.netflix.com/forum/read/70098):

At this point, we aren't officially supporting any external launch points into the Netflix iPad application. If you suss them out yourselves and use them, the danger is that they may eventually go away.
