See you can not have this home button thing in all version like the image you shared. But you can do few tricks for it.

1. Check if you mobile version is lesser then Lollypop or not. If it is lesser, make a view similar to the image you shared at the bottom. And perform actions on it.

2. If you are not intersted in making any view, then you have to use

   @Override
   public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
     if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME) && webView.canGoBack()) {
       webView.goBack();
       return true;
     }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
   

   }
