Ok nevermind. This works now. I forgot to add become: yes to the main file 
in the last try. The task now calls the handler, despite the failure in the 
2nd task.

So with the tasks/main.yml

tasks/main.yml
- name: Install nginx
  yum:
    name: nginx
    state: installed
  register: nginx_installed
  notify:
     - restart nginx

- name: Run a command that fails
  shell: /bin/false


Output - 


[ansible@localhost roles]$ ansible-playbook nginx.yml
