I used the CookieManager with the java.net package in my Android Application and it works like a charm. Here is a code snippet :

import java.net.CookieHandler;
import java.net.CookieManager;
import java.net.CookiePolicy;
import java.net.HttpCookie;
import java.util.List;

private class MyCookieManager
{       
    private CookieManager mCookieManager = null;

    MyCookieManager() {
        mCookieManager = new CookieManager();
        mCookieManager.setCookiePolicy(CookiePolicy.ACCEPT_ALL);
        CookieHandler.setDefault(mCookieManager);
    }

    private List<HttpCookie> getCookies() {
        if(mCookieManager == null)
            return null;
        else
            return mCookieManager.getCookieStore().getCookies();
    }

    public void clearCookies() {
        if(mCookieManager != null)
            mCookieManager.getCookieStore().removeAll();
    } 

    public boolean isCookieManagerEmpty() {
        if(mCookieManager == null)
            return true;
        else 
            return mCookieManager.getCookieStore().getCookies().isEmpty();
    }


    public String getCookieValue() {
        String cookieValue = new String();

        if(!isCookieManagerEmpty()) {
            for (HttpCookie eachCookie : getCookies())
                cookieValue = cookieValue + String.format("%s=%s; ", eachCookie.getName(), eachCookie.getValue());
        }

        return cookieValue;
    }

}

You can use reflection to see the cookie map. It's called mCookieMap in 4.0.3 (and probably in earlier releases as well). The type is Map>.

This isn't a great way of doing it because you'll risk breaking on different devices or OS versions if they don't use mCookieMap, but CookieManager doesn't offer a public way of knowing which URLs it's visited.
