Oh! Excellent! Worked like charm.

Here's what I did:
I created a html page with following code and opened it in safari on iPad:
<a
href="invoke://?userName=Deepak&anotherParameterName=anotherParameterValue">
        <img src="someImage.png" height="57" width="57" />
</a>

When I tapped on the image, safari slid away and it opened up my Flex App.

Flex code:
app.xml file:
<InfoAdditions><![CDATA[
            <key>UIDeviceFamily</key>
            <array>
                <string>1</string>
                <string>2</string>
            </array>

            <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
            <array>
                <dict>
                     <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
                    <array>
                        <string>invoke</string>
                    </array>
                    <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
                    <string>com.someName.INVOKE</string> <!--This would be
same as app bundle id-->
                </dict>
            </array>
        ]]></InfoAdditions>

Added following line on initialise of a view:
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE,
onInvoke);

private function onInvoke(event:InvokeEvent):void
            {
                //event.arguments is an array and one of the item in it
will have
"invoke://?userName=Deepak&anotherParameterName=anotherParameterValue" as
its value
            }

Hope that helps others too.

Thank you once again Marteen.

Cheers!
