This code might be useful (it works for me):

// retrieve and log bookmarks
Cursor results;
String[] proj = new String[]
{
  android.provider.BaseColumns._ID,
  android.provider.Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL,
  android.provider.Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE
};
// other columns available: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Browser.BookmarkColumns.html
results = managedQuery(android.provider.Browser.BOOKMARKS_URI, proj, 
    android.provider.Browser.BookmarkColumns.BOOKMARK, null, null);
int urlColumn= results.getColumnIndex(android.provider.Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL);
int titleColumn= results.getColumnIndex(android.provider.Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE);
String tag = "mytag";
if (results.moveToFirst()) {
  do {
    Log.d(tag, results.getString(titleColumn)+": "+results.getString(urlColumn));
  } while (results.moveToNext());
}
