It is the Tile Service for the quick settings in the Android, you can check the official document about this.

In addition, I have done a sample to test this api and it worked well.

Just declare a class to extend the TileService, such as:

[Service(Permission = "android.permission.BIND_QUICK_SETTINGS_TILE", Icon = "@drawable/icon", Label = "mymenu", Enabled = true, Exported = true)]
[IntentFilter(new[] { "android.service.quicksettings.action.QS_TILE" })]

public class DemoTitle : TileService
{
    public override void OnClick()
    {
        refresh();
    }
    public void refresh()
    {
        var state = QsTile.State;
        state = (state == TileState.Active)?TileState.Inactive:TileState.Active;
        QsTile.State = state;
        QsTile.UpdateTile();
    }
}

After this, you can find and add the your custom button to the quick settings when you click the editing button in the bar.
