'How can I open my PWA app from other native app?
I am implementing a PWA application and a native application on Android. I need to open the native app from PWA app which I know how to do that. Basically I need a URL provided from the native app and open the URL from PWA which will bring the native application. This approach is pretty much like opening google map by clicking its url: http://maps.apple.com/?address=1,Infinite+Loop,Cupertino,California..
Now I have a requirement to open my PWA from the native app. For example, if I share the PWA url through facebook, I'd like other people open the PWA app when they click on the url in facebook if they have installed the PWA. How can I achieve that?.

You don't need to implement anything to do that. Android does it for you. For example, if your PWA is hosted on https://my-pwa.com and the user clicks a link with the href https://my-pwa.com, Android first looks through your PWAs and if the URL matches, it opens the PWA. Otherwise Android opens the Chrome browser.
Just verified this on an Android 6 device.
