I'm developing an Android app, and it use Intent String, from an information that I've been read Intent putExtra can only tranfer String with max size 1 MB, I wondering how much String that I can put in it, because I want to put JSON and consider the length.

Well, single character takes exactly 8 bits to be stored in, that's 1 byte (B). So 1 MB = 1024KB and 1 KB = 1024B so 1 MB has 1024 x 1024 = 1,048,576 bytes, that's 1,048,576 characters, that includes everything
