As the @Ken Fehling suggested, you must approach this way.
What actually gonna happen by this is, when you click on the attchment after its downloaded, Android OS will ask you and give a option containing all the apps that can open .csv file.
Now as you have mentioned the mime type or android:pathPattern in your app, the option list will contain the name of your app too.

If it's your app, I believe you just have to associate that file type with the app using the Android manifest. See this question for details:

Android intent filter: associate app with file extension
