If you have noticed, you control almost everything in WPF application, and able to parametrize as you wish almost any class which is completely different from Android, unfortunately.
Message passing is a great idea, eliminating a part of errors common to multithreading environments; all the Intent/Bundle stuff in Android has almost nothing to do with it. You generally don't pass more than one message from one activity to another, and this one message is just a start notification.
