In 2020, this is the way to do it. You'll need to pass what you need to as part of the referral URL. The code below uses SharedPreferences to store a flag so it'll only process the referral URL once.

in your build.gradle file

dependencies {
    ....
    implementation 'com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:2.1'
}

And in your AndroidApplication

import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.RemoteException;
import com.android.installreferrer.api.InstallReferrerClient;
import com.android.installreferrer.api.InstallReferrerStateListener;
import com.android.installreferrer.api.ReferrerDetails;
import com.badlogic.gdx.backends.android.AndroidApplication;

public class YourApplication extends AndroidApplication {

    public static final String REFERRAL_PROCESSED = "referral-processed";

    private void checkInstallReferralLink() {
        final SharedPreferences prefs = androidx.preference.PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
        if (prefs.getBoolean(REFERRAL_PROCESSED, false))
            return;

        final InstallReferrerClient referrerClient;

        referrerClient = InstallReferrerClient.newBuilder(this).build();
        referrerClient.startConnection(new InstallReferrerStateListener() {
            @Override
            public void onInstallReferrerSetupFinished(int responseCode) {
                switch (responseCode) {
                    case InstallReferrerClient.InstallReferrerResponse.OK:
                        ReferrerDetails response;
                        try {
                            response = referrerClient.getInstallReferrer();
                            if (response != null) {
                                String referrerUrl = response.getInstallReferrer();
                                if (referrerUrl != null) {
                                    processReferralUrl(referrerUrl);
                                }
                            }

                            SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
                            editor.putBoolean(REFERRAL_PROCESSED, true);
                            editor.apply();
                        } catch (RemoteException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                        break;
                    case InstallReferrerClient.InstallReferrerResponse.FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED:
                    case InstallReferrerClient.InstallReferrerResponse.SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE:
                    case InstallReferrerClient.InstallReferrerResponse.DEVELOPER_ERROR:
                    case InstallReferrerClient.InstallReferrerResponse.SERVICE_DISCONNECTED:
                        break;
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onInstallReferrerServiceDisconnected() {
            }
        });
    }

    private void processReferralUrl(String referrerUrl) {
        // Do what you need to here
    }
}

You need to declare receiver with intent filter that contains 

<action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />

then get data from intent by key "referrer"

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    String rawReferrerString = intent.getStringExtra("referrer");
    if(rawReferrerString != null) {
        Log.i("MyApp", "Received the following intent " + rawReferrerString);
    }
}

To open the specific screen using Deep link, you need to implement the deeplink functionality and add specific screen in Manifest file. Please refer the below sample to implement the deeplink:
