Android create custom scheme

Question

How to create custom scheme for android so then I can use it in intent filter. My url is https://myquest.io/?ref=abc here abc will change with different user. I will replace "abc" with different user id and launch gmail app.Then when user clicks the link it will be captured by intent filter

<intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
                <data android:scheme="Quest"/>
            </intent-filter>

I tried using <a href="https://myquest.io">Quest</a>, but it is not working.Can anybody help me to solve this.Thanks in advance.
