On iOS the Dropbox app uses it for authentication for third party apps. I'm 
sure there's lots of ways you could use it like launching an app from a link in 
a browser. From memory iOS falls back to http if the protocol is unable to be 
handled so you can imagine how you might use that to suggest someone installs 
your app etc.

I may have been wrong about getting the uri. The uri in urlWakeUp on android 
pronbably is the uri for the file being shared but I think in most cases you 
would need to use a content resolver to get the actual data of the file unless 
the app sharing the file put it in a public directory. But that still doesn't 
account for setting the activity result and finishing the activity so the user 
returns to the original app. If it's not waiting for a result you could try 
just calling quit though...
