I suggest you to check out the MapsDemo in the samples on github: https://github.com/xamarin/monodroid-samples/tree/master/MapsDemo
I am not sure if you can get the MapView like that, so an alternative method would be to instantiate it yourself, which isn't that hard. I have a sample I made for 1.9.2 here: https://github.com/Cheesebaron/MonoDroid.GoogleMapsDemo/blob/master/MapActivity.cs it works with 4.0 as well.
