You need to pass the HostServices to the Controller.

HostServices hostServices ;

public void setGetHostController(HostServices hostServices)
{
    this.hostServices = hostServices;
}        

Key Code: Passing HostServices to the Controller.

FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"));
Parent root = loader.load();
FXMLDocumentController fXMLDocumentController = loader.getController();
fXMLDocumentController.setGetHostController(getHostServices());

Main

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

/**

public class JavaFXApplication7 extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
        FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"));
        Parent root = loader.load();
        FXMLDocumentController fXMLDocumentController = loader.getController();
        fXMLDocumentController.setGetHostController(getHostServices());

        Scene scene = new Scene(root);        
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
    }

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

}

    @FXML
    private void handleButtonAction(ActionEvent event) {
        hostServices.showDocument("www.google.com");
    }

    @Override
    public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
