Following is my solution:

Project defaultProject = ProjectManager.getInstance().getDefaultProject();
FileType fileType = _fileTypeManager.getKnownFileTypeOrAssociate(fileToActivate, defaultProject);
if (fileType != null && fileType instanceof INativeFileType) {
   ((INativeFileType) fileType).openFileInAssociatedApplication(defaultProject, fileToActivate);
} else {
   _fileEditorManager.openFile(fileToActivate, _projectSettings.isFocusEditor());
}
