How can I resume my app by clicking a link in a mobile browser (default browser or Chrome, Firefox, Safari)?

Hi, XamBoy. Sorry, we cannot do that. It's uncontrollable to define the work in another application. We can only use the phone's physical return key to go back to the app. Try loading the url using the webview to perform the the navigation.

What about Application Indexing and Deep Linking? Maybe I can use that?

Scenario that I trying to achieve:
In my app user clicks a button, which opens the default email app. In the email app he opens the newly received message and clicks the link to confirm the email address he used during registration process in my app, after clicking the received link default browser pops up where he sees the message that the email address is confirmed. Now from this point I need to go back to my app. How can I do this?

Hi, XamBoy. Deep Linking could help to customize the function, but this can only be achieved in your own application. There is no way to add the function code to the third-party app like the browser.

Going back to your application needs to be performed by the user.
