Simple way to do is, You can assign one static variable which is public inside first activity like,

public static String myEditTextContent;

Set this after you set the value from your edit text like,

myEditTextContent = editText.getText().toString();

Use the same in fourth activity like

FirstActivityClass.myEditTextContent and set it in this(fourth) activity.

Later on you can use intent's putExtra,SQLLite Database,Shared Preference also, as suggested by others

Use this code in your first activity

Intent intent = new Intent(context,Viewnotification.class);
          intent.putExtra("Value1", youredittextvalue.getText().toString());
startActiviy(intent);

And in your fourth Activity

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
        String value1 = extras.getString("Value1");
yourfourthactivityedittext.setText(value1);

Its not necessary that he will directly open fourth activity from first directly what is he opens Second and third activity in between and goes to fourth that time this will fail. :( – RPB Jun 28 '12 at 12:16
@ Rinalkumar But he has not declare in question as move from first-second-third-fourth activities. – Shalini Jun 29 '12 at 05:39
But what if it happens so this should be generic solution which should work in any case :) – RPB Jun 29 '12 at 05:56

You can do it in two ways

First Use SharedPreferences like

// declare
SharedPreferences pref;
    SharedPreferences.Editor edit;


in On create

//initialize
                pref = this.getSharedPreferences("myPrefs", MODE_PRIVATE);
        edit = pref.edit();


// add data in it
edit.putString("USERNAME", EditText1.getText().toString());
edit.putString("PASSWORD", EditText1.getText().toString());
edit.putString("USERID",   Text1.getText().toString());

// save data in it
edit.commit();


to get data


// access it 

String passwrd = pref.getString("PASSWORD", "");
String userid = pref.getString("USERID", "");


And the second way

Send data from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 activity 
with intents like

    Intent i = new Intent(First.this, Secondclass.class);
                    i.putExtra("userid", EditText1.getText().toString());
                    i.putExtra("username",EditText2.getText().toString());

                    startActivity(i);


and recieve in each activity like

       Intent i = getIntent();
     String   ursid = i.getStringExtra("userid");
 String   ursername = i.getStringExtra("username");
