     Because messageToShow is `static', it belongs to the entire
class as a whole.  There is only one messageToShow, no matter how
many SchedulaaAllarme objects you create; they all share the same
messageToShow value.  So ...

>        this.messageToShow = dataToShow;

     ... the first time this constructor runs, it sets the shared
messageToShow to the dataToShow value.  And the second time the
constructor runs, it changes the shared messageToShow to *its*
dataToShow value.

     To give every SchedulaAllarme object its own unique messageToShow,
remove `static' from the declaration.

     (Note: I have not examined the rest of your code carefully;
there might be other problems, too.)
