Can't and don't are still correct English (even if not formal English) but I don't remember seeing this form in any textbook I have looked at.

In writing, no. That is unless you're talking about casual notes or letters between friends. Use 鳴ってる、住んでる、読んでる, etc. outside of a direct quote in a compo for school, and you will be corrected. Needless to say, you won't see it in the printed media, either.
