Impossible to pass string through activities at the beginning

I am trying to pass a string from an activity to another activity. I need this string to send an Http request with a specific key (the string) as a header.

Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), StatusActivity.class).putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"");
intent.putExtra("token", token);
startActivity(intent);

I try to get the value in the other activity:

    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_status, container, false);
        ListView listView = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.mylist);
        //

        Intent intent = getActivity().getIntent();
        token = intent.getExtras().getString("token");
        adapter = new ObjAdapter(getActivity() ,new ArrayList<Post>());
        listView.setAdapter(adapter);
        return rootView;
    }

But the problem is that I initialize an ArrayAdapter inside the method onCreate, because I want the data to be present at the beginning of the activity. It seems that the token is null and cannot be found.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_status);
    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                .add(R.id.container, new StatusFragment())
                .commit();
    }
    FeedAsync task = new FeedAsync();
    task.execute();
}

How can I get the string token at the beginning of the activity? I need the string token to execute the AsyncTask.

The "most beginning" place in Activity is onCreate method after calling of super method. There is no earliest place where you could get Intent data.
