I've used the following rule to redirect a non-www domain to www domain (Reference).

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

In this case the domain is redirecting to the www domain. This is due to full URL inclusion in the rule.

But is there a way to rewrite the domain to www instead of redirecting? I've tried some methods and doesn't worked. Someone experienced the same issue?

what do you mean by rewriting if you do not want to use www don't use it simple it will still fetch the page. – Abhishek Gurjar Oct 04 '16 at 11:16
In my case the website works only with non-www url, but I need to add www to the URL. – Nikhil Oct 04 '16 at 11:17
You are doing it in a wrong direction. You need to redirect www to non-www. – user4035 Oct 04 '16 at 11:49
