Thnx to StefanK comment found Here, You need to use the clearHistory() method right when the page finishes loading in the WebViewClient onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) method also in the onLoadResource(WebView view, String url) method; as follows:

    myCoolWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url){
            view.loadUrl(url);
            return true;
        }
        @Override
        public void onLoadResource(WebView view, String url) {
            // Notice Here.
            view.clearHistory();
            super.onLoadResource(view, url);
        }
        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
            // And Here.
            view.clearHistory();
            super.onPageFinished(view,url);
        }
    });

Also you can check the canGoBack() and copyBackForwardList() for manipulations.
