First move the code that load the URL from onCreate to onResume

If url is the page you want to open

public void onResume(...) {
    // ...

    String url = "...";
    if (!url.equals(webView.getUrl())) {
        webView.loadUrl(url);
    }
}

Note that if your app has been in the background for a while, Android will kill it, and the webview will reload - nothing you can do about it.
