Have a look at https://branch.io/. You will have to configure your app for deep linking, — Ragesh Ramesh, Mar 01 '16 at 06:36

@Aditya when you send an email with confirmation link and user click the link, when you confirm user's action, redirect user to url(something like my.special.scheme://other/parameters/here) as described on http://stackoverflow.com/q/2958701/517134 may it help? — Yusuf K., Mar 01 '16 at 07:25

you must do some changes your manifest. Do changes in launcher or default activity like below:

 <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|keyboard|screenSize"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />

            <data
                android:host="yoursitedomain.com"
                android:scheme="http" />
            <data
                android:host="www.yoursitedomain.com"
                android:scheme="http" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

BROWSABLE and data tags help you.

@Aditya can you copy link that you want open with app? and copy your manifest code here? — Haniyeh Khaksar, Mar 01 '16 at 07:10

JavaScript can call android from webView.

If you can show that email in your own webView.

You can programmatically call Android Activity.

I was call activity, function, dialog from webView.

Yes it possible but the logic is a bit tricky.

Prerequisite:

Google Cloud Messaging (GCM)
Any back-end running in the cloud.

The idea here is to trigger the GCM via the link you send in the email. When user clicks the link your web back-end should kick/trigger the GCM, then the GCM will open your app for you.
