you can use this

@Override  
protected void onPause() {  
    m_WebView.reload();  

    super.onPause();  
}

I think you need to override onBackPressed buttton

public void onBackPressed() {
   mWebView.onPause();
   super.onPause();
}

You can try this, it's a code I used for a similar problem on 4.4.2:

@Override
    public void onBackPressed() 
    {
        webView.clearView();
        webView.freeMemory();
        webView.removeAllViews();
        webView.destroy();

    try {
          Class.forName("android.webkit.WebView")
                        .getMethod("onPause", (Class[]) null)
                        .invoke(webView, (Object[]) null);
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
        }
        super.onBackPressed();
    }

webView.clearView(); webView.freeMemory(); This method was deprecated — , Oct 13 '15 at 11:09

I had the same problem and I resolved by javascript, doing that:

@Override
public void onPause(){
    super.onPause();
    webView.loadUrl("javascript:pauseSound()");
}

@Override
public void onResume(){
   super.onResume();
   webView.loadUrl("javascript:playSound()");
   webView.onResume();
}
