You could do it by overriding the method commitEdit as next:

@Override
public void commitEdit(T item) {
    // This block is necessary to support commit on losing focus, because 
    // the baked-in mechanism sets our editing state to false before we can 
    // intercept the loss of focus. The default commitEdit(...) method 
    // simply bails if we are not editing...
    if (!isEditing() && !item.equals(getItem())) {
        TableView table = getTableView();
        if (table != null) {
            TableColumn column = getTableColumn();
            CellEditEvent event = new CellEditEvent<>(
                table, new TablePosition(table, getIndex(), column), 
                TableColumn.editCommitEvent(), item
            );
            Event.fireEvent(column, event);
        }
    }

    super.commitEdit(item);
}
