I think its possible, (But never try this)..

  1. Load your webpage in android webview in that make a javascript which is fetch the mobile number from the HTML page.

  2. Make a Android function to add a mobile number in contact and call that function from java script.

Use Java Script interface for calling Android function from JAVA Script.

TO communicate between Java Script and Android function look at this example Android WebView Also Android WebView, Javascript and CSS

EDIT: Look at this tutorial for how to add contacts in android Contacts API 2.0 and above | Android Developer Tutorial and Android How-To: Create a new Contact.

Put this in html page where you want user to click to create phonebook entry:

<a href="wtai://wp/ap;5551234;My Name">Add 5551234  to phonebook</a>

When this page is loaded in WebView or browser and user clicks on the link, new phonebook entry screen will appear.

It will work on almost any phone.

I have put the html in a test web page. Visit from your mobile to test.
