@nkadithya31 did you follow these two steps?
$ heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:dev
$ heroku pg:promote HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_COLOR

where COLOR is the output of the first command.

I did try that and also contacted heroku, as I was using hhvm instead of php and hhvm does not support postgresql.

@nkadithya31 ah ok, you should take a look at this https://github.com/xyu/heroku-wp, HHVM and mysql with clearDB instead of postgresql.
