Audio in webview continues to play in background

I have a webview with an audio player. If I start the audio and press back to return to the previous activity, the audio still keeps playing in background. This problem only occurs when the API is lower than 11.

My code: 

@Override
public void finish() {
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
           webView.onPause();
        } else {
            webView.loadUrl("about:blank");
        }
}

I also tried 

webView.loadData("", "text/html", "utf-8");

And

webView.clearCache(true);
webView.clearHistory();
webView.destroy();

But it didn't work.

Does anyone know how to solve that?

A simple hack that worked for me is 

webView.loadUrl("javascript:document.location=document.location");

This solves the problem fro API > 11

@Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    if(webView != null) {
        webView.onPause();
    }
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    if (webView != null) {
        webView.onResume();
    }
}

but for lower versions (in your case) you need to call onPause and onResume as follows

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB){
          webview.onPause();
        } else {
    try {
        Class.forName("android.webkit.WebView")
                .getMethod("onPause", (Class[]) null)
                            .invoke(webview, (Object[]) null);

    } catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
        ...
    } catch(NoSuchMethodException nsme) {
        ...
    } catch(InvocationTargetException ite) {
        ...
    } catch (IllegalAccessException iae) {
        ...
    }
    }
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
    super.onPause();
    if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB){
          webview.onResume();
        } else {
    try {
        Class.forName("android.webkit.WebView")
                .getMethod("onResume", (Class[]) null)
                            .invoke(webview, (Object[]) null);

    } catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
        ...
    } catch(NoSuchMethodException nsme) {
        ...
    } catch(InvocationTargetException ite) {
        ...
    } catch (IllegalAccessException iae) {
        ...
    }
    }
    }
