twitter: [android-developers] Custom Data Schema

I am wanting to use a custom schema for opening my application such as
myschema:// It works fine if I put that schema in a webpage as a
link, but if I send an email with that link (even if an html email)
the gmail client does not linkify the url making it so the user cannot
click the link to open the application.

Has anyone else implemented custom schemas and been able to send the
links in an email and have Android recognize them?
