Not a problem too, define two handlers:
- name: stop foo
service: name={{ service_name }} state=stopped
- name: start foo
service: name={{ service_name }} state=started
In tasks define:
tasks:
- name: change happen here
...
notify:
- stop foo
- start foo
This way, both handlers will be called (top to down, so stop first). If
you cannot use service module, just change handlers to shell as you have in
your first mail.
