It might be cleaner to use pgrep instead for process check. Then you can use 
something like this:

   tasks:
     - name: Process check
       command: pgrep httpd
       register: httpd_check
       ignore_errors: true
     - debug:
         var: httpd_check.failed

     - name: restart httpd if down
       systemd:
         name: httpd
         state: restarted
       when: httpd_check.failed

What's wrong with asserting that the service should be started?

- systemd:
    name: httpd
    state: started
