After trying to accomplish this for a day now, I finally found the solution here: https://github.com/browserstate/history.js/issues/47#issuecomment-25750285

The code is pretty damn simple, the following is quoted from the link:

When you push your state

History.pushState({
    _index: History.getCurrentIndex(),
    someData: ...
}, someTitle, someUrl);

and then in the event binding

History.Adapter.bind(window, 'statechange', function () {
    var currentIndex = History.getCurrentIndex();
    var internal = (History.getState().data._index == (currentIndex - 1));
    if (!internal) {
        // your action
    }
});
