I have solved this issue with replace with 

<a href="#backButton" onclick="window.history.back();">Go back</a>

to 

<a href="#backButton" onclick="window.history.back();return false">Go back</a>

now its works fine

You can use this code mentioned below:

WAY-1

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if(event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
        switch(keyCode)
        {
        case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK:
            if(mWebView.canGoBack() == true){
                mWebView.goBack();
            }else{
                finish();
            }
            return true;
        }

    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

WAY-2

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    if(mWebView.canGoBack() == true){
        mWebView.goBack();
    }else{
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

hope it will help you... !!!
