On an Android device equipped with NFC reader hardware, is there any in-built support to use the NFC tag contents to fire off an intent (e.g. starting an app)? I am asking whether the support is there by default, I know I could build my own app to listen for NFC events and handle them.
All the NFC tag writing apps I've seen appear to only support text/URLs/contacts, and the contacts support seems useless as many are far too big to fit in a tag.
According the the Android Developer site, it is possible for your app to filter NFC intents such as ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED.
