Highlight a specific text in WebView android 4.0

Question

I want to highlight a specific (searching) text on WebView. I use the code

 myWebView.findAll(txtSearch);

 try {
      for (Method m : WebView.class.getDeclaredMethods()) {
         if (m.getName().equals("setFindIsUp")) {
          m.setAccessible(true);
          m.invoke(myWebView, true);
          break;
        }
    }
     } catch (Exception ignored) {
       }

This works great on Android 2.2, but it doesn't work on Android 4.0 and above
