        android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden">
    <intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
        <data android:scheme="http://"
            android:host="www.myapp.com"
            android:pathPrefix="/Home_page"></data>

    </intent-filter>
 </activity>

Use this as IntentFilter.

<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <data android:scheme="http"
                android:host="www.myapp.com"
                android:pathPrefix="/Home_page"></data>

            <data android:scheme="https"
                android:host="www.myapp.com"
                android:pathPrefix="/Home_page"></data>
        </intent-filter>

Also read AutoVerify property if you are not using it intentionally.

To handle deep link in Activity

  @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    Intent intent = getIntent();
    String action = intent.getAction();
    Uri data = intent.getData();
}

Or if your Activity is android:launchMode="singleTask" then you have also check in onNewIntent()

 @Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    super.onNewIntent(intent);
    String action = intent.getAction();
    Uri data = intent.getData();
}

Read Deep linking.
