Not sure that is really an ansible task. I’m sure you could use ansible to set it up. I use this on my systems to get notification:  
`

cd /etc/systemd/system  
if [[! rebootsh.service]]; then  
cat \> rebootsh.service \<\< EOF  
[Unit]  
Description=Notify sys admin when the server gets rebooted  
After=network.target  
After=postfix.service

[Service]  
Type=simple  
ExecStart=/root/bin/reboot.sh  
TimeoutStartSec=0  
RemainAfterExit=no

[Install]  
WantedBy=rescue.target  
WantedBy=multi-user.target  
WantedBy=graphical.target  
EOF  
echo “Added the rebootsh service”  
chmod 444 rebootsh.service  
systemctl enable rebootsh.service  
else  
echo “Rebootsh.service already in place”  
fi

cd /root/bin  
if [[! -f reboot.sh]]; then  
cat \> reboot.sh \<\< EOF  
#!/bin/bash
