It sounds like you are loading another webpage once the webview starts in the Phonegap app, is that correct? If that's true then you could add a param to the request url based on configuration.

For example, assuming PHP,

App.Config = {
  target: "phonegap"
};



var onbodyload = function () {
  var target = App.Config.target;
  document.location = "/home?target=" + target;
};

Then on the server side, include the phonegap js if the target is phonegap.

There is no way to detect the difference using the user agent.
