Why are you using a MemoryFile? If you need to read the file into memory, 
you could just use a byte[] and byte-arrays are parcelable.

Actually, I'd suggest not reading it into memory a all and just pass the 
'Uri uri' from the parcelable producer to the consumer and the consumer can 
read the file (as long as the consumer is not a task running on the main UI 
thread).
