Can I get Chrome Gmail's custom tab to handle deeplink

Question

AndroidManifest.xml

<activity android:name=".MyUrlDeepLinkActivity">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />

        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />

        <data android:scheme="http" />
        <data android:scheme="https" />
        <data android:host="my.site.com" />
        <data android:pathPattern="/whatever" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

bit.ly/2htafiiredirected to my.site.com/whatever.

Gmail on the Nougat device redirects bit.ly/2htafiito my.site.com/whateverthe user's Chrome tab, but does not register as deeplink.

Is there any way to make sure that deeplink will be raised after the redirect from Gmail, without requiring the user to disable "Open web links in Gmail"?
