You would want to update any values in the "before" update event. The update event is what writes the changes to the database, the after event will have the results of the update.
Also consider doing the math part in the a pre-processing BPM, it is sometimes easier to do.

If I remove the update method, then it works, but I'm in risk that the total sometimes is not being calculated right, also if I refresh the view it works, but doing this, is giving me more trouble.... since I can't recall messages, because the refresh is being done before it tries to recall the message, so it only recall the first message..... Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't identify what it is... any help would be much appreciated....

You should normally have to call a notify event unless you have dependent fields. Notify doesn't do any saving.
