I have finally figured out a way to do that
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>
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"
},
},
},
}
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

It is not possible to provide data through bundle, but you can use query parameters or hash fragment in your URI to provide the necessary data.
Example:
myscheme://<SOME_PATH>?param1=value1&param2&value2
Then, in your GDK Glassware, simply parse the query parameters and process their values.
