Intent is always good to send the primitives/Strings/Object etc. between two different activities while when we wants to send data between two different fragment it is good to send/pass them as Bundle args.

Intents are message passing system used for communication between two different activities while on the other hand the same communication is better with setting and getting bundle arguments in case of fragments.

Intents are used for communication between different activities and set-arguments are used for communication between two fragments. You can check this link- http://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/communicating.html#DefineInterface
