Your url scheme should be rentalandroid for this to work:
Example: rentalandroid://mywebsite.com

 <activity
            android:name=".Registration"
            android:exported="true" >
            <intent-filter>
                <data 
                    android:scheme="rentalandroid"/>

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

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

Try to remove category for view :

<activity
        android:name=".Registration"
        android:exported="true" >

   <intent-filter>
       <data android:scheme="rentalandroid"/>
       <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
       <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
       <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
   </intent-filter>
</activity>
