Binder IPC is not intended for several megabytes of data transport. You should keep a single call well under a megabyte, and hopefully more in the realm of 100K.
If you are sending more data than that, you should do it through an fd or shared memory area; it is easy to transport such objects through a Binder IPC to do the initial connection.
