Ansible handler is given a task to start a particular service. What will Ansible handler do if the service is already started when it is called?

That depends on what module and what definition you are using to restart the service. Typically (such with the service module) when a service is already started and you specify state: started, then nothing happens.

In handlers, you typically want to use state: restarted, which will make sure a service is restarted when the handler runs.
