        var token=event.getParam("token");
        if(token.indexOf('contact/')===0)
        {
            var contactId=token.substr(token.indexOf('/')+1);
            var action=component.get("c.findById");
            action.setParams({"contactId":contactId});
        }
        action.setCallback(this,function(response){

Do you have any defined parameters in your APPLICATION/COMPONENT event?

Look at the following link where you can find an example
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/events_application_example.htm

<aura:event type="APPLICATION" description="Event template" >
    
    <aura:attribute name="searchKey" type="String" />
</aura:event>

My app not working.facing below error:
This page has an error. You might just need to refresh it. Action failed: c:conDetails$controller$locationChange [token.indexOf is not a function] Failing descriptor: {c:conDetails$controller$locationChange}

My component is:
conDetails.cmp:
<aura:component controller="conList">
    <aura:attribute name="contact" type="Contact" default="{'sobjectType':'Contact'}"/>
    <aura:handler event="aura:locationChange" action="{!c.locationChange}"/>

        <h3>{!v.contact.Title}</h3>
        <h3>{!v.contact.Account.Name}</h3>
    </div>
    
</aura:component>

My Controller is:
conDetailsController:
({
    locationChange : function(component, event, helper) {
        var token=event.getParams("token");
        if(token.indexOf('contact/')===0)
        {
            var ConId=token.substring(token.indexOf('/')+1);
            var action=component.get("c.findConById");
            action.setParams({"contactId":ConId});

I am new to Lightning aura component and I was also facing the similar issue, however i have made 2 changes in the code and it is now working for me.

1. In controller i have used 'var token=event.getParam("token");' instead of 'var token=event.getParams("token");' (Use of getParam instead of getParams
2. After that line i have just add one  more condition 'if(token!=null)'

Below are my code:

Component:
<aura:component controller="ContactConroller" >
    <aura:attribute name="conForDetails" type="Contact" default="{'sobjectype':'Contact'}"/>
    <aura:handler event="aura:locationChange" action="{!c.locationChange}"/>
    
    <div>
        <h1>{!v.conForDetails.Name}</h1>
        <h1>{!v.conForDetails.Account.Name}</h1>
        <h1>{!v.conForDetails.Title}</h1>
        <h1>{!v.conForDetails.Phone}</h1>
    </div>
</aura:component>


Controller:
({
    locationChange : function(component, event, helper) {
        
        var token=event.getParam("token");
        if(token!=null)
        {
            if(token.indexOf('contact/')===0)
            {
                var conID = token.substr(token.indexOf('/')+1);
                var action=component.get("c.searchContactById");
                action.setParams({"contactID":conID});
            }
            action.setCallback(this,function(a)
                               {
                                   component.set("v.conForDetails",a.getReturnValue());
                               })
            $A.enqueueAction(action);
        }
    }
})

The If(token!=null) condition, wrapping remaining code was missing.
thanks @Mayur Mehta. It worked for me too.
