An activity can be registered to be started using a url, which you define in your manifest

<activity android:name=".YourActivity">
            <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="yourscheme" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

Your activity will then be launched if a link looking like yourscheme://something is clicked
