Is there any function at manifest or somewhere when I install my app, the app it will appeare at device like browser app?

Question

I am making my apk like browser but the problem it is when I install at emulator or at device the app it is not at the DefaultApps -> BrowserApp it is only at the apps. Or if anyone has an idea how to do that please let me know.

I want it to show at the BrowserApps.

This is my manifest.xml

use this code in manifest

<intent-filter>
    <data android:scheme="anton" />
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" /> <--Not positive if this one is needed
    ...
</intent-filter>

for more reference:- Make a link in the Android browser start up my app?

As you can see I have writed this at the intent. But what is that `data: scheme="anton"` ? – TheCoderGuy Feb 18 '19 at 13:38
@Spritzig "scheme" is the general name for where you normally see "http" or "https" in a URL. – Code-Apprentice Feb 18 '19 at 20:41
@Code-Apprentice I have writed this but till now nothing, do you have any idea how to achieve that ? – TheCoderGuy Feb 18 '19 at 20:43
