Either you can set/edit default PATH for java bin in /etc/sudoers (visudo)
by editing
Defaults secure_path = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
Or you can set environment while executing ansible-playbook
---
- name: "checking the java version"
hosts: host
remote_user: myremoteuser
gather_facts: False
environment:
PATH: '$PATH:/path/to/bin/for/java'
become: True
become_user: serveruser
become_method: 'sudo'
Also, try to figure out if you can utilise become_flags option if above one
doesn't help.
