No, you can't. I suggest one of this ways:

1. Adding your text to a Bundle and fetching it in your activity.

in your widget:

Intent intent = new Intent(context, YourActivity.class);
Bundle b= new Bundle();
b.putString("Text", yourtext);
intent.putExtras(b);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, appWidgetId, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);

in your activity:

Intent intent=getIntent();
Bundle b= intent.getExtras();
String text= b.getString("Text", "");

2. Using SharedPreferences for saving your text and loading it in the activity.

In your situation, I recommend method 1.
