I have finally figured out a way to do that

1. First add your custom scheme to android activity tag in AndroidManifest.xml

    
     <activity
           android:name="com.sanath.MainActivity"
           android:label="@string/app_name" >
           <intent-filter>
               <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
               <action android:name="com.google.android.glass.action.VOICE_TRIGGER" />
               <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
           </intent-filter>
           <intent-filter>
             <data android:scheme="com.sanath.scheme" />
             <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
             <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
           </intent-filter>
           <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.glass.VoiceTrigger"
           android:resource="@xml/vision_voice_trigger" />
       </activity>

2. Then in Glassware timeline MenuItem add like following

   
   new MenuItem(){
   Action = "OPEN_URI",
   Payload = "com.sanath.scheme://open/Welcome/2014",
   Values = new MenuValue[]
           {
            new MenuValue()
            {
               DisplayName  = "Open",
               State = "DEFAULT"
            },
            new MenuValue()
            {
               DisplayName  = "Launching",
               State = "PENDING"
            },
            new MenuValue()
            {
                DisplayName  = "Launched",
                State = "CONFIRMED"
            },
            },
           },
       }
   

3. Then inside your Activity OnCreate method you can get data as following

   
      Uri data = getIntent().getData();
           List params = data.getPathSegments();
           String param0 = params.get(0); // "welcome"
           String param1 = params.get(1); //"2014"
   
       String welcomeMsg = param0+" to "+param1;
   
       /*show time line card
        * */
       Card welcomeCard =new Card(this);
       welcomeCard.setText(welcomeMsg);
       welcomeCard.setFootnote(param1);
       View view =welcomeCard.toView();
   
       setContentView(view);
   

Hope this will help others
