Passing GoogleApiClient object to another activity?

In my android app, I have a GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient; object. I want to pass it from the login.java class to MainActivity.java class. I have tried to use Serializable and Parcelable. 

Intent mainIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
        mainIntent.putExtra("googleapi", (Serializable) mGoogleApiClient);
        startActivity(mainIntent);

I get this error java.lang.ClassCastException: com.google.android.gms.common.api.c cannot be cast to java.io.Serializable. Now if I try to pass a string, it works. I can understand that I can't cast a GoogleAPIClient class to Serializable.

How should I send this object to other class?

ApplicationTest.Java

public class ApplicationClass extends Application
{
    //instantiate object public static
    public static GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
    public Context mContext;

    @Override
    public void onCreate()
    {
        super.onCreate();
        mContext = getApplicationContext();

        mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(mContext)
            .addConnectionCallbacks(mContext)
            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(mContext)
            .addApi(Games.API).addScope(Games.SCOPE_GAMES)
            // add other APIs and scopes here as needed
            .build();
    }

    @Override
    public void onTerminate()
    {
        super.onTerminate();
    }
}

TestClass.Java

public class TestClass extends Activity
{
    @Override
    public void onCreate()
    {
        super.onCreate();
        //this way you have can use object of mGoogleApiClient anywhere in the app.
        ApplicationTest.mGoogleApiClient;
    }
}
