Ansible handler does not run multiple handler tasks

Question

We have one Ansible role that needs to run three tasks in the handlers/main.yml task file, but it only runs the first task. How do I force it to run the other two tasks? I do have the ignore flag on for if the first task fails.

The tasks/main.yml file looks like:

- name: openfire | Copy plugins into openfire/plugins
  copy: src={{ srcdir }}/xmpp/{{ item }} dest=${bindir}/openfire/plugins/{{ item }}
  with_items:
   - x.jar
   - y.jar
  sudo: yes
  sudo_user: ${tomcat_user}
  notify: restart openfire

- name: openfire | Copy jars into openfire/lib
  copy: src={{ srcdir }}/xmpp/{{ item }} dest=${bindir}/openfire/lib/{{ item }}
  with_items:
   - a.jar
   - b.jar
  sudo: yes
  sudo_user: ${tomcat_user}
  notify: restart openfire

The handlers/main.yml file looks like:

- name: restart openfire
  service: name=openfire state=stopped
  ignore_errors: true
  sudo: yes

- name: restart openfire
  file: path=/var/run/openfire.pid state=absent
  sudo: yes

- name: restart openfire
  service: name=openfire state=restarted enabled=yes
  sudo: yes

Only the first handler task (shut down openfire) runs.

Its possible for handler to call another notify. Multiple notify calls are also allowed:

---
- name: restart something
  command: shutdown.sh 
  notify:
    - wait for stop
    - start something
    - wait for start

- name: wait for stop
  wait_for: port={{port}} state=stopped

- name: start something
  command: startup.sh

- name: wait for start
  wait_for: port={{port}} state=started
