Best would probably be to have your application put some data in a known place on the card and then have your desktop application check for that. You can probably also find the vendor and product ID's of the USB device that is exporting the mass storage and see if that matches a known android phone, though you would have to update your application every time a new one is released. Maybe there is something in the mass storage volume information or usb device descriptors which can identify it as android.
Personally I think the mass storage mode is generally a bad idea, and should be avoided, as it gives the desktop computer too much opportunity to make a mess of things. The card should really belong to the phone... what are needed are more portable means of program<>program communication with the desktop. I generally use adb commands to get things on and off of it rather than mass storage mounting, though the current implementation of that is more developer targeted than end user friendly.
