React native app to receive share links from apps like youtube

Question

I am new to React native. I am developing an app to receive shared url like in youtube share which shares the url. I have added the code to register receive activity in xml like this

 <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
          <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
          <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
          <data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
 </intent-filter>

But in my App.js code how could i receive the data and do further processing.
