before your new activity (B) is finishing, use setResult()

Intent data = new Intent();
data.putExtra("RESULT", "my string to pass to previous activity");
setResult(RESULT_OK, data);

and in the previous activity (A) you must use startActivityForResult() for starting the activity B

then in activity A override onActivityResult() to retrieve the result.
