Yes. You need the appropriate <intent-filter>. See:

https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/NFC/URLTagger

If you tap a tag that has the URL http://commonsware.com/nfctest, the
application will start up, courtesy of:

<intent-filter android:label="@string/app_name">
<action android:name="android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED" />
<data android:scheme="http"
android:host="commonsware.com"
android:path="/nfctest"
/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
