    It does expose the fav icon of the website. But its available in the database if that bookmark url was successfully visited at least once. Also when accessing the internal Android databases use the managedQuery() method.

    Here is a snippet for accessing the fav icon from db.

        Cursor mCur = managedQuery(android.provider.Browser.BOOKMARKS_URI,
        projection, null, null, null);
    mCur.moveToFirst();
    int titleIdx = mCur.getColumnIndex(Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE);
    int urlIdx = mCur.getColumnIndex(Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL);
    int urlIdx = mCur.getColumnIndex(Browser.BookmarkColumns.FAVICON);
