Failed to start application by calling url from android browser

There are many answers on stackoverflow showing how a lauch application is from a web browser, but I'm not sure what went wrong with my code, which never seems to do the intended thing. I am trying to run my application at a URL from any other application such as a web browser, initially my manifest file looks like this:

      <activity android:name=".Main">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
        <intent-filter>
              <data android:scheme="http" android:host="ebay.com" />
              <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
              <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
              <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
        </intent-filter>

And when I typed http://ebay.com in a browser that never launched my application. Obviously, how does the browser know about my application ?, then I tried the other way around and added another action called MyActivity and changed the manifest file as

<activity android:name=".Main">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>

    </activity>     

 <activity android:name=".MyActivity">
      <intent-filter>
         <data android:scheme="http"  android:host="ebay.com" />
         <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
         <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
         <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
      </intent-filter>
   </activity>


startActivity ( Intent (Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse( "http://mycityway.com" )));
