title: Open App from URL works on Firefox for Android but not on Google Chrome
body: <p>I want to open my Android app when user taps on link to my webpage (preferably from Facebook share post, but let's start with plain URL). </p>
  
  <p>To achieve this, I've created an Activity <code>UrlReceiver</code> and added this code to my <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code> file (URLs are just for testing purpose):</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;activity
          android:name=".main.core.UrlReceiver"
          android:exported="true"&gt;
          &lt;intent-filter&gt;
              &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/&gt;
              &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/&gt;
              &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/&gt;
  
              &lt;data
                  android:host="martinfowler.com"
                  android:pathPrefix="/"
                  android:scheme="http"/&gt;
              &lt;data
                  android:host="www.martinfowler.com"
                  android:pathPrefix="/"
                  android:scheme="http"/&gt;
              &lt;data
                  android:host="test"
                  android:scheme="myapp"/&gt;
          &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
  &lt;/activity&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And this is working on <strong>Firefox for Android</strong>, when I enter <code>myapp://test/</code> it opens my app automatically, when I enter <code>martinfowler.com</code> there is an Android head next to the url which leads on tap to my app. And this is fine.</p>
  
  <p>But it is <strong>not</strong> working on <strong>Google Chrome</strong>. When I enter <code>myapp://test/</code> it starts Google searching and when I enter <code>martinfowler.com</code> it just opens the webpage. </p>
  
  <p>I started digging about this on the web and found this document: <a href="https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/intents" rel="nofollow">https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/intents</a>, exmplaining that custom schemas won't work in Chrome anymore so I tried using this URLs (according to the document):</p>
  
  <pre><code>intent://test/#Intent;scheme=myapp;package=com.my.app;end
  intent://#Intent;scheme=myapp;package=com.my.app;end
  intent://test/#Intent;package=com.my.app;scheme=myapp;end
  intent://#Intent;package=com.my.app;scheme=myapp;end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But these are starting Google search as well. What can I do, to open my App from URL in Google Chrome?</p>
  
  <p>I've tested this on both KitKat and Lolipop.</p>
