Read this:

http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-latest.html

There is a file "globs" that "contains a mapping from names to MIME types".

Therefore you can map for example "pdf" to "x-office-spreadsheet".

Look at sample code in function TPixMapManager.LoadMimeIconNames in

http://doublecmd.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/doublecmd/trunk/src/platform/upixmapmanager.pas

Once you have MIME name look here how to find the icon location in the
icon theme:

http://doublecmd.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/doublecmd/trunk/src/platform/uicontheme.pas
