Android 2.3.6 NFC update

Google released Android 2.3.6 as an Over-The-Air update to Nexus S owners. 

This release also improves Android’s NFC support. Finally there is support for NDEF intent filtering for NFC Forum External Type.

When you tap the phone to an NFC tag containing an External RTD Record Type with contents “urn:nfc:ext:company.com:demo”, this is converted to a URL in the form vnd.android.nfc://ext/company.com:demo.

Now you can use a normal NDEF URL IntentFilter to process this Intent.
