I tried with javascript and robot class. Hope this will help you..

JavaScript

   driver.get("http://www.google.com/");
   driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

   //Open new tab
   JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
   jse.executeScript("window.open()");

   //Switch to new tab 
   ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String> (driver.getWindowHandles());
   driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1));
   driver.get("http://www.yahoo.com/");

Robot Class

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("http://www.google.com");
    driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

    //Robot Class
    Robot r = new Robot();
    r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
    r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_T);
    r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
    r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_T);

    //Switch to new tab
    ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String> (driver.getWindowHandles());
    driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1));
    driver.get("http://www.yahoo.com/");
    System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

This code works me:

driver.get("http://www.google.com");

        String a = "window.open('https://www.yahoo.com', '_blank');";
        ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript(a);
