I tried to put a HTML hyperlink like this 

<a href="test-app://param=123">Click here</a>

in my HTML email template and sent it using java mail library. When I open that email in my gmail, it displays "Click here" but the link is not clickable. It's just <a>Click here</a> (the part "href="test-app://param=123" is removed). It works well when I replace the link in href by the links like www.google.com.

Please help

I had this issue and in my case I hadn't explicitly given the protocol so I just added http://to all my urls and it worked fine after that. In your example your url looks strange too though.

I would imagine you would have to have something like 

<a href="http://test-app?param=123">Click here</a>

You should define your own schema in the AppManifest.

Take a look here:
