Now 20 weeks, i felt baby move @17th week. and daily feeling baby only once or twice strong(few days light) when i take rest, is it normal at this stage?

Probably : At this stage the baby is still very small and you might not feel many of the movements. There is still plenty of room inside the uterus so movements are not felt as strongly. As the baby gets larger and there is less room the movements are felt more. If you ever have a concern your provider can easily confirm the heartbeat is adequate. You may be able to stimulate by playing music.
