In this paper we give unified formulas for the numbers of representations of positive integers as sums of four generalized $m$-gonal numbers, and as restricted sums of four squares under a linear condition, respectively. These formulas are given as $\mathbb{Z}$-linear combinations of Hurwitz class numbers. As applications, we prove several Zhi-Wei Sun's conjectures. As by-products, we obtain formulas for expressing the Fourier coefficients of $\vartheta(τ,z)^4$, $η(τ)^{12}$, $η(τ)^4$ and $η(τ)^8η(2τ)^8$ in terms of Hurwitz class numbers, respectively. The proof is based on the theory of Jacobi forms.
