https://stackoverflow.com/a/39494610/4639479 I used this answer and worked fine

public static String[] extractLinks(String text) {
    List<String> links = new ArrayList<String>();
    Matcher m = Patterns.WEB_URL.matcher(text);
    while (m.find()) {
        String url = m.group();
        links.add(url);
    }
    return links.toArray(new String[links.size()]);
}

It's because Html.fromHtml and Linkify.addLinks removes previous spans before processing the text.

Use this code to get it work:

 public static Spannable linkifyHtml(String html, int linkifyMask) {
    Spanned text = Html.fromHtml(html);
    URLSpan[] currentSpans = text.getSpans(0, text.length(), URLSpan.class);

    SpannableString buffer = new SpannableString(text);
    Linkify.addLinks(buffer, linkifyMask);

    for (URLSpan span : currentSpans) {
        int end = text.getSpanEnd(span);
        int start = text.getSpanStart(span);
        buffer.setSpan(span, start, end, 0);
    }
    return buffer;
}
