Don't bake normals using zbrush,  the results will be incorrect for painter.

You can't tell if a tangent space normal map is correct or not by looking at the colours - only by the result under lighting

Post a picture of the object with a proper material in the Painter viewport with a normal map baked in Painter

I soften all the edges in maya and export FBX low poly ,the I baked in painter, the curvature and normal both have seam at uv island ,is there a solution to this , please help out thanks.

OK,  so I don't see anything wrong with the normals - I would need to see it lit to tell if there's a problem.

Curvature maps often have  artefacts at seams due to the way they are calculated - you could try messing with the bake settings but ultimately it may not be 100%  solvable.
You will of course be able to paint out any issues with generators that the seam causes.

That said, if you need to view the object this close up then I'd suggest not putting a UV seam there in the first place
