In your launch file, add a line to convert your .xacro file to .urdf. Gazebo can handle urdf directly, and a python script exists for the same. Here it is:

<param name="robot_description" command="$(find xacro)/xacro.py $(find $DIRECTORY_WITH_ROBOT_DESCRIPTION_FILES)/urdf/$YOUR_FILE_NAME.urdf.xacro" />
