First You need to root your Android device properly

after that

follow this instruction below

add this to the dependency in build.gradle (app)

`implementation 'eu.chainfire:libsuperuser:1.0.0.+'`

then

call this method form Shell in your action method

Shell.run("su",new String[]{"pm clear com.android.chrome"},true);

or

Shell.SU.run("pm clear com.android.chrome");

it will properly working latest android version too

I'll guarantee to you it will work from android 6.0 to latest
