Intent filter behavior with web page redirect

Question

I have a question about the way that a declared intent-filter for some page example.com/pageB in AndroidManifest.xml would work in the following scenario:

1. There is a link in an email for a page example.com/pageA that is not declared in an intent-filter.
2. User clicks on the link
3. The link goes to a page that redirects to a new page example.com/pageB. The new page matches the intent-filter declared in the app's AndroidManifest.xml

Will the OS launch the app to handle the intent the same way it would have if the user directly clicked on a link to example.com/pageB?

Answer 1

The OS does not distinguish between the redirect to example.com/pageB and the user clicking on a link to that page so the intent filter works as expected.
