I don't understand what this means.

LocalBinder isn't generic because Java generics don't exist. Java uses type
erasure, and when using Java through JNI -- as is done in Xamarin.Android --
the generics have been "erased".
You should be able to cast the service value to the LocalBinder type by using
the JavaCast<T>() extension method:
http://androidapi.xamarin.com/?link=M%3aAndroid.Runtime.Extensions.JavaCast%3CTResult%3E
For example:
mService = service.JavaCast<LocalBinder>().Service;
