While navigating views in schedule, text labels available in the header will be changed based on it visible dates, so while using custom header , respective text value can be obtained from the VisibleDatesChanged event of SFSchedule.

C#

//triggering visible dates changed event.
schedule.VisibleDatesChanged += Schedule_VisibleDatesChanged;

...

private void Schedule_VisibleDatesChanged(object sender, VisibleDatesChangedEventArgs e)
{
    //to get visible dates index value.
    int visibleDatesIndex = 0;
    var headerString = string.Empty;
    if (schedule.ScheduleView == SFScheduleView.SFScheduleViewMonth)
    {
        visibleDatesIndex = 8;//to get current month visible dates.
    }
    else
    {
        visibleDatesIndex = 0;
    }
    NSDate date = e.VisibleDates.GetItem<NSDate>((nuint)visibleDatesIndex);
    NSDateFormatter dateFormat = new NSDateFormatter();
    dateFormat.DateFormat = "MMMM YYYY";
    headerString = dateFormat.ToString(date);
