Do not use content for a scheme, unless you truly mean that you are creating an activity in support of a ContentProvider.

But I wish to know can several combinations exist

If your filter has just one attribute for , you definitely can have different values, such as this from the Contacts app:

Also, one component can have several elements, each of which is logically OR'd with the others (any Intent matching any filter is a match for the component). So for more complex scenarios, where you have 2+ attributes per element, I would be inclined to put those in separate elements.

how is it decided that which host to be used for which scheme

Any match is considered good. You would examine the Intent yourself to learn more about what it contains.
