I solved this in 2 ways.

1) In the manifest the minSdkVersion should match or be lower than the emulator 2) (what tripped me up) The Mono DLLs References of the project should be set to the Android version too.

Both are needed. I come from a Java Android background so never thought to change anything but the manifest.
