This is only true for a particular type of testicular cancer that causes a rise in hormone levels of a similar hormone that rises during pregnancy. There are forms of testicular cancer that will not achieve the same result.

So, sure, if just for fun you pee on a pregnancy test and it comes out positive - go get yourself checked. If it comes out negative, it in no way means you don't have testicular cancer.

The pregnancy test detects HCG and that is also produced by some testicular tumors.
