I guess you can use Webview.clearHistory(). But remember so impotent to call this after WebView is loaded. For example the code:

webView.loadData(someUrl);

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
            @Override
            public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
                super.onPageFinished(view, url);
                clearHistory();
            }
}
