You can make a function in fragment to control webview.goBack() that called by onBackPressed() in activity.

Example

in Fragment

CatFragment {
    ...
    public boolean onBackPressedHandled(){
        if (webview.canGoBack()) {
            webview.goBack();
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

in Activity:

Activity {
    ...
    public void onBackPressed() {
        if (!catFragment.onBackpressedHandled()) {
            super.onBackPressed();
        }
    }
}
