Try this code :

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
        super.onBackPressed();
        post_content_web.loadUrl("about:blank");
}

While Nouri's answer works exactly as the OP wants, for many you may want to stop video playback when a Fragment has been replaced or hidden--not just when the back button is pressed.

The solution is the same, but I recommend putting the code in onPause(). This will cover the above situations and the back button at the same time.

@Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    post_content_web.loadUrl("about:blank");    // Stop video playback
}
