Open activity from url in chrome browser

I want to open my Activity when user clicks on certain url. I created intent-filter this way:

        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <data
                android:scheme="http"
                android:host="mysite.com"
                android:pathPrefix="/prefix/" />
        </intent-filter>

When I open that url from my sms or notes it works fine (my activity opens), but when I click on that url from chrome browser it redirects me to the web-site. I heard that there is a problem with chrome 23+, but I can not create any url that could redirect me to my activity from chrome.

What am i doing wrong?

One of my application, i am using as mentioned below (Please replace host, pathPrefix and port with your values). In my case i am using different host, port and pathPrefix for dev, qa and production. That is why i add all scenarios in intent filter. Its working fine for me. Could you please try like this. 

<activity
        android:name=".SampleActivity"
        android:label="@string/sample"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>

            <!--Dev-->
            <data
                android:host="dev.mysite.com"
                android:pathPrefix="/your path/"
                android:port="4000"
                android:scheme="http" />
            <data
                android:host="mysite.com"
                android:path="/your path/"
                android:port="4000"
                android:scheme="https" />

            <!--Qa-->
            <data
                android:host="qa.mysite.com"
                android:pathPrefix="/your path/"
                android:port="8000"
                android:scheme="http" />
            <data
                android:host="qa.mysite.com"
                android:path="/your path/"
                android:port="8000"
                android:scheme="https" />

            <!--Production-->
            <data
                android:host="mysite.com"
                android:pathPrefix="/your path/"
                android:scheme="http" />
            <data
                android:host="mysite.com"
                android:path="/your path/"
                android:scheme="https" />          
        </intent-filter>

        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
