Answer 1

For you to be able to link a url to your app you will first need a small http server embedded on your app . NanoHttpd can easily be embedded. Here you can find an android app example.

Answer 2

The best strategy is to use Messaging protocols for that, for android you can use MQTT
Your browser will be accessing the MQTT sever, your android device will be running an MQTT client
Once all above is complete, you can send messages from your browser and your android device will receive the message almost instantaneously.
