Hi, I have a question. Can we configure android intent in a way that our app will be opened if any nfc tag will be scanned ? Without writing custom mimetype on it ?

Yes see http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/nfc/nfc.html#filtering-intents

@don wont that prompt the user which app to use? He said "our app will be opened"

Correct, if there are multiple applications that handle the intent, the user will be prompted and must choose. Ideally the intent can be as specific as possible to which tags are handled by your app.
