This is really useful to hook into URLs matching a certain scheme when using an IntentFilter on an activity. If you know that emails or web-oriented content may be on the users device you can simply have the filter listen for the android.intent.action.VIEW action and set the pattern for the URL you expect. Having a class or couple of classes to parse that URL and route the user to the right app activity via Intents can be really helpful for more complex URLs.
