The way you posted your question I assumed you were in control of whatever server side media you were trying to launch. (i.e. 'my link')
Yes, the android system is supposed to detect link type and launch the proper application. However, I am not sure if it does it via mime-type or by parsing the file extension. In any case, sometimes it's finicky if you don't pass whatever app is installed the right bundle data. was still not successful in having the music play. That's not very clear as to what happens when the app launches and fails to play the link. Have you verified you can play the link in the intended app normally? Have you tried a different test device? If you had more control of the content, you could simply form a proper bundle and pass it to the browser or youtube app via an intent which should always handle that type of content.
