Have you checked the supported python and cython versions. And one more thing newest cython version is not supported for python 3.6.4 however just go and check at python index page and kivy dependency page. GOOD LUCK

I've installed kivy on Kubuntu 18.04 with the following command : 

sudo apt-get install -y \
    python3-pip \
    build-essential \
    mercurial \
    git \
    python3 \
    python3-dev \
    ffmpeg \
    libsdl-image1.2-dev \
    libsdl-mixer1.2-dev \
    libsdl-ttf2.0-dev \
    libsmpeg-dev \
    libsdl1.2-dev \
    libportmidi-dev \
    libswscale-dev \
    libavformat-dev \
    libavcodec-dev \
    zlib1g-dev

 

sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
sudo python3 -m pip install numpy
sudo python3 -m pip install pygame
sudo python3 -m pip install Cython==0.25.2
sudo python3 -m pip install kivy

I hope it will help you.
