Call app.clearHistory() in JS, get the following stack trace in logcat:
W/WebView (25178): java.lang.Throwable: A WebView method was called on thread 'JavaBridge'. All WebView methods must be called on the same thread. (Expected Looper Looper (main, tid 1)

{41f38938} called on Looper (JavaBridge, tid 10154) {41f91fc8}, FYI main Looper is Looper (main, tid 1) {41f38938}
