     if(data.FinderSuccess == true){
        parent.onlineMoveNavigation = this.@abc.jsclass::onlineMoveNavigation()();
     }
  }

  if (parent.addEventListener){
        //alert("parent getOnlineScheduleResult called 3");
        parent.addEventListener("message", listener, false);

 }

}-*/;

    public void onlineMoveNavigation(){
        GWT.log("onlineMoveNavigation called");
        presenter.moveNavigationNext();
    }

}

The this keyword won't evaluate to your jsclass instance when listener is called by the browser.
You have to bind your jsclass instance to a variable that you can reference from your listener function/closure.

var self = this;

function listener() {
  //alert("getOnlineScheduleResult called 2 Outside");
  var data = JSON.parse(event.data);
  if(data.FinderSuccess == true){
     parent.onlineMoveNavigation = self.@abc.jsclass::onlineMoveNavigation()();
  }
}
