Try this: 

    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />

    <data android:host="www.put-your-website.com" />
    <data android:scheme="https" />
    <data android:scheme="http" />
    <data android:pathPattern=".*" />
</intent-filter>

Read about BroadcastReceiver. An application must register itself to listen to intents sent using sendBroadcast(). After this the user is presented with a pop up to launch that application. (Similar to send functionality where you can choose to send using different applications)
