I found a solution to the problem, I was struggling with the same issue.

Here is my activator:

private void LoadTask(FileInfo dll)
    {
        Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(dll.FullName);

        foreach (Type type in assembly.GetTypes())
        {
            var hasInterface = type.GetInterface("ITask") != null;

            if (type.IsClass && hasInterface)
            {
                var instance = Activator.CreateInstance(type, _proxy, _context);
                _tasks.Add(type.Name, (ITask)instance);
            }
        }
    }

And here is my class to activate, note that I had to change the constructor params to objects, the only way I could get it to work.

public class CalculateDowntimeTask : Task
{
    public CalculateDowntimeTask(object proxy, object context) : 
        base((TaskServiceClient)proxy, (TaskDataDataContext)context) { }

    public override void Execute()
    {
        LogMessage(new TaskMessage() { Message = "Testing" });
        BroadcastMessage(new TaskMessage() { Message = "Testing" });
    }
}
