There are a couple of steps

1. Add an Alpha merge to your normal output to create the transparency

2. Add a normal tag to the graph

3. Export the normal output as a png then for the icon - click browse and use that exported png as the Icon

4. Publish the material as sbsar to your Painter shelf location under 'Textures'. It should appear when you next open Painter.
