Webview does not show onConsoleMessage in android

I have used webview

with the reference http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/debugging.html

  myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

myWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
   public boolean onConsoleMessage(ConsoleMessage cm) {
              Log.d("MyApplication", cm.message() + " -- From line "
                                   + cm.lineNumber() + " of "
                                   + cm.sourceId() );
              return true;
            }
            public void onConsoleMessage(String message, int lineNumber, String sourceID) {
                Log.d("MyApplication", message + " -- From line "
                                     + lineNumber + " of "

It appears some devices (HTC Desire and some others) with specific OS (mine had 2.3.3) do not display messages in Logcat window and it seems console.log does not work for them. I found a nice workaround using JavaScript Interface to overcome the issue: Android Console via JS interface

In my case (I have Samsung Note 4 running Android 6.0), onConsoleMessage is called only if I set

myWebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true);

and when I open the Chrome remote device debugger to inspect the webview. But obviously this is not quite helpful since I can already see the console output on the debugger window.
