Can multiple listeners be used in a cog?

Problem

I wanted to use multiple listener in a cog file in discord.py but it wont work. Only the last listener in the code gets called. How to solve it?

Code

class test(commands.Cog):
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message):
        # code of this function

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message):
        # code of this function

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(test(bot))

    class test(commands.Cog):
    @commands.Cog.listener("on_message")
    async def listener_one(self, message):
        # code of this function

    @commands.Cog.listener("on_message")
    async def listener_two(self, message):
        # code of this function

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(test(bot))
