Size limitation on attached Parcelable?

I want to know is there any size limitation on Parcelable that attached to an Intent? I Read some docs about Intents, Bundles, Parcelable again and there was nothing about size limitation. But I read some answers, that say size of attached Parcelable is limited (for example, 1 MB). So are Parcelables limited by size or it only depends to the device?

Its explained on the docs here. The transaction buffer for each process is 1 mb. In my understanding the factors to be considered are:

  1. Individual size of transactions(maximum 1 mb)
  2. The number of transactions(the sum of size of all transactions should be less than 1 mb)
