Rendering a gif in Monodroid

I am new to C# and axml. I have created a simple page in Monodroid that should contain a .gifimage. The image has a transparent background. What should display is the following

Instead it displays as

The background is not transparent anymore. I am using a ImageView that looks as follow

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/logoImageView"
    android:src="@drawable/logo"
    android:scaleType="fitCenter" />

How would I get the background transparent if possible?
