Starting android app on click dynamic link in email

Question

I need to start an app from email using link (which contain some parameter) for example http://www.this-so-does-not-exist.com/something

I am able to start my app after click a simple email using following in intent-filter.

<intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>

            <data
                android:host="www.this-so-does-not-exist.com/something"
                android:scheme="http"/>
        </intent-filter>

now i want to pass some information along with email link like http://www.this-so-does-not-exist.com/something?id=4545

how i can read this from my android app.

any help will be much appreciated. thanks in advance.

getIntent().getData() from your Activity will give you the Uri that was used to launch your app. Query parameters are available from a variety of methods on Uri, such as getQueryParameter().
