Sorry, i re-read your post, this should be more what you want :
-- code start
function rgb_to_r_g_b ( clr , alpha )
   return ((clr / 0x10000) % 0x100) / 255., ((clr / 0x100) % 0x100) / 255.,
(clr % 0x100) / 255., alpha
end
function msgiw_icon ()
   local s = mouse.screen
   local color = {}
   local c = "0xFF0000"
   local d = "0x000000"
   if s == 1 then
      color = { c , d }
   else
      color = { d , c }
   end
   dim = 10
   local cs = Cairo.image_surface_create("argb32", dim , dim )
   local cr = Cairo.context_create(cs)
   cr:set_source_rgba( rgb_to_r_g_b( color[1] , 1 ) )
   cr:rectangle(0,0,dim,dim)
   cr:fill()
   msgiw.image = image.argb32(dim, dim, cs:get_data())
   cr:set_source_rgba( rgb_to_r_g_b( color[2] , 1 ) )
   cr:rectangle(0,0,dim,dim)
   cr:fill()
   msgiiw.image = image.argb32(dim, dim, cs:get_data())
end
msgiw = widget({ type = "imagebox" })
msgiiw = widget({ type = "imagebox" })
msgiw_timer = timer ({   timeout = .2 })
msgiw_timer:add_signal("timeout", function () msgiw_icon() end)
msgiw_timer:start()
-- code end

Now you have two widgets to insert : msgiw and msgiiw
Each one is to place on a wibox placed in different screens (am i really
clear ?)
