I was trying with the window objects but it didn't worked as I was opening the remote url in the InAppBrowser. Couldn't get it done. So the best and easiest way to achieve it was to append a string to the url which you need to open from the phonegap app. Then check if the document location has string appended to it.

Below is the simple code for it

var ref = window.open('http://yourdomain.org#phonegap', '_blank', 'location=yes');

You will see a string is added to the url "#phonegap".So in the domain url add the following script

if(window.location.indexOf("#phonegap") > -1){
     alert("Url Loaded in the phonegap App");
}
