From the UK, yes you can your on maternity leave you are not at work you are well within your right to go on holiday while on mat leave, you do not need to let your employer know as technically you are not working for x amount of months.

Even if you weren't on maternity leave, your manager shouldn't be texting you when you're on holiday. You can do whatever you like on maternity leave! Thats odd 🤔
