I suggest you to use public static global variable for that. Try this

Create one class

public class Constant  {
  public static Bitmap b = null;
}

Now when you want to send Bitmap from one activity to other, use it as below.

In first activity,

Constant.b = bitmap;
Intent i = new Intent(A.this, B.class);
i.putExtra("USERNAME", userName);
i.putExtra("STATUS", status);
startActivity(i);

In second activity. 

Bitmap b = Constant.b;
img.setImageBitmap(b);  //just for example, use it as per your requirement

You need to convert it to a Byte array before you add it to the intent. Here is the example

Update: I was using the method above but the following might be easier to use I guess

Update2: Please look at this comment, too. This additional one is not a solution to your problem, but just a friendly reminder
