100% works solution (kotlin).

Create class for store HtmlLink before Linkify

class HtmlLink(val urlSpan: URLSpan, val spanStart: Int, val spanEnd: Int)

Create spanned html (both formats for test)

val spanned = Html.fromHtml("https://google.com" +
                "
Google")

Store html

val htmlLinks = ArrayList()
spanned.getSpans(0, spanned.length, URLSpan::class.java).forEach { urlSpan ->
    htmlLinks.add(HtmlLink(urlSpan, 
                  spanned.getSpanStart(urlSpan),
                  spanned.getSpanEnd(urlSpan)))
}

Create spannable builder and Linkify it

val builder = SpannableString(spanned)
Linkify.addLinks(builder, Linkify.WEB_URLS)

Restore spans.

htmlLinks.forEach { htmlLink ->
    builder.setSpan(URLSpan(htmlLink.urlSpan.url), htmlLink.spanStart, htmlLink.spanEnd, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)
}

Set finally text

scrollContent.text = builder
