It is possible to start an application from WebView:
Android SDK WebView call Activity
http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/webview.html#BindingJavaScript

But it is not possible to send intent from regular web browser.

Edit:

If you need to open Google Play just use a regular html a href with the url of an application on the Google Play.

P.S. : Take a look on this useful thread Make a link in the Android browser start up my app?
